Kevin Purrmann saves SC Oberhavel Velten from relegation!

SC Oberhavel Velten has fought its way back into the second half of the season in the North regional class after a difficult start. Despite an uncertain phase at the beginning of the season, in which the team was second to last in the table with only 12 points from 15 games, coach Kevin Purrmann can now report a remarkable turnaround. Loud maz-online.de Purrmann led his team to the best teams in the second half of the season with an impressive record of 11 wins, 1 draw and only 3 defeats.

However, the path to success was not easy. The first half of the season had dampened hope as the team often played on equal terms with their opponents, but the exploitation of chances was a major shortcoming. Six games were lost 0-1, which posed a huge challenge for the coach and players. Purrmann remains optimistic: “We have to improve the little things in order to exploit our full potential,” he emphasizes to fupa.net.

Strong together

A decisive factor in the team's turnaround was the reinforcement of Silvio Brösicke, who joined as an assistant coach in the winter. According to Purrmann, this change created more freedom to have individual conversations with the players. The teamwork with his assistant Daniel Radke has a major influence on the positive development of SC Oberhavel. Purrmann has also announced that he will adapt his coaching style to reduce pressure from both outside and inside.

The planning for the coming season already shows that the club is looking to the future with great ambitions. The squad is being strengthened in certain areas, with new additions such as Niclas Winkler and Philipp Golembus. Only Oskar Rittner will leave the club for professional reasons. The team's goal is to return to the national league in the long term, emphasizes Purrmann, without building up unnecessary pressure. For the second half of the season, exploiting opportunities will be a central theme in order to get closer to the goal of staying in the league, which, according to Purrmann, remains “the only goal”.

Highly motivated for the second half of the season

In preparation for the second half of the season, training began on January 13th. Participation is high: an average of 20 players attend training each week. The first test match took place on January 25th against a Brandenburg league team, in which the players scored three goals and were able to strengthen the team spirit. Purrmann is convinced that a lot of points can be scored with better exploitation of opportunities and tactical changes, such as faster play on the wings and more consistent finishing.

With SC Oberhavel Velten, a team is on the way to freeing itself from relegation worries. The next challenge is about continuing the positive development. The competitors in the relegation battle, such as Prenzlau and Gartz, will remain in the sights of the coaches and players. There is still a large dose of optimism: if the team continues to work so hard and learns the lessons from the first half of the season, we can look forward to the coming games.
