3rd league - SV Waldhof wants to "push into the top" in the new third division season
After the long fight to avoid relegation in the previous season, SV Waldhof Mannheim aims to attack again in the 3. Football League. "The third league is rather unpredictable," said trainer Marco Antwerpen on Thursday. "But why shouldn't it be possible for our own team to make it to the top?" However, SVW needs a "perfect season" for that, Antwerpen explained, without naming a specific placement as a goal.
Anthony Loviso, Mannheim's Technical Sport Director, had recently mentioned the second half of the previous season's table as a benchmark. In the second half of the season, the Kurpfälzers finished seventh, but only narrowly avoided relegation as table-16.
On Sunday, the squad of Antwerpen has its first training session scheduled, from the 8th to the 13th of July, SV Waldhof Mannheim will be in Austria for a training camp. Antwerpen is looking forward to the days in Austria because they offer the opportunity to "advance with the team spirit," he said.
