Losing also needs to be learned. And this is exactly where FCN head coach Robert Klauss (37) still has a lot of catching up to do.
Although his team again disappointed against previously ailing Karlsruhe, the club coach reacted thin-skinned and snotty to almost every critical request after the next smack.
His former boss Julian Nagelsmann (34) showed how things can be done differently at the weekend. After the Bochum debacle, the Bayern coach could also have pointed to a lack of luck, missed big chances, bad phases or other “little things” (Klauß) – instead he blamed himself and his own team for the embarrassment.
Something like this is sympathetic and also gives your followers hope that you will learn from your own mistakes and want to turn them off quickly.
Unfortunately, Klauß did not raise this hope with his press conference in Karlsruhe. At least in the previous week he proved that the club coach can do things differently.
