The next steps for FC St. Pauli

Although the last four games show that the team has stabilized, FC St. Pauli's situation in the Bundesliga remains tense. A reversal of the trend is not guaranteed, which is why those in charge and players are called on to remain calm and not to be guided too much by the results. After all, in the game in question, FC St. Pauli had played more than three shots on goal and over 80 passes into the opponent's third and cleverly exploited the space offered to Mönchengladbach. This development gives hope for a successful second half of the season.
