FC Mecklenburg Schwerin: Surprising disappointment despite a strong season!
FC Mecklenburg Schwerin ended the season in the football association league in a solid fourth place, but the mood is divided. Sports director Stefan Lau commented on the season with a mix of joy and disappointment. The second half of the season in particular was far less successful than the impressive first half of the season, where the team overwintered in first place and secured the autumn championship. “We may have used up the necessary luck in the first half of the season,” speculates Lau and does not rule out strengthening the squad in order to attack again next season. Especially since you have to compensate for the departures, especially that of top player Kanta Seki.
In the first half of the season, FC Mecklenburg Schwerin showed a convincing performance with 12 wins, 2 draws and only one defeat. After 15 games, we had an impressive 38 points - which meant first place in the table. With 43 goals scored and only 13 received, the FCM had the best offense and defense in the league. Coach André Sevecke expressed his satisfaction with how the season has gone so far, even if there were significant setbacks in the last third of the season.
Review of the season
The first defeat against SpVgg Torgelow-Ueckermünde was a turning point. However, the players were not discouraged by the subsequent draw in the derby against MSV Pampow and celebrated several victories before the second half of the season was a little slower. With a total of over 60 points, the season can be considered successful, but fourth place still falls short of expectations.
Stefan Lau is sure that returning to the top league remains the goal. However, this requires a strong team. Preparation for the season starts on July 7th, with the first test match against Niendorfer TSV from Hamburg scheduled for July 12th. “We have to take the right steps now,” demands Lau and is optimistic that strengthening the squad will give the team a boost.
Top scorers and outlook
Over the course of the season, many players got on the scoresheet, including Bashir Schultz and Kanta Seki, who both scored 11 goals each. In the next chapter of the club's history, it will be important to also increase the goal threat in the wings. A detailed overview of the goal scorers:
