TSG Neustrelitz narrowly loses: 2:3 against Hertha BSC II in the friendly!
Losing is part of football, but TSG Neustrelitz saw a positive development despite a 2-3 defeat against Hertha BSC II in today's friendly on June 29, 2025. Coach Thomas Franke was satisfied with his team's performance, but would like to work on the defensive weaknesses. In the first half, Younes Laribi managed to equalize the score at 1-1 after successfully completing a nice combination into the near corner. Justus Guth scored from the penalty spot in the second half to make it 2-2 after he was fouled solo. Despite the attractive offensive actions, Neustrelitz's defensive mistakes were too obvious, which is why Franke emphasizes that stability needs to be worked on.
TSG Neustrelitz started preparations for the 2025/26 season on June 23rd, with the clear goal of expanding on the promising approaches in the test matches. Numerous games have been announced in preparation, including the third division team Energie Cottbus in Herzberg on July 5th. Nordkurier reports that the coach has announced a high training intensity for the first home game on June 27th against BFC Dynamo. A total of eight test matches are scheduled in the preparation plan, which give the players the opportunity to prepare for the coming season.
Test games as a training tool
Test matches are not only there to achieve results, but also to improve training content and provide players with valuable competition practice. fussball.de emphasizes that such games should be specifically integrated into training planning. When choosing their test match opponents, TSG clearly intends to focus on different topics. This happens, among other things, through differences in performance, which allow different aspects of the game to be trained, be it acting under pressure or dealing with setbacks.
The test match against Hertha BSC II showed that the Neustrelitz team remains committed and motivated despite the high training intensity, which may have contributed to the defensive weak points. Manuel Härtel, TSG's top-scoring player, played half after groin problems, which means his comeback next season is in jeopardy. However, fans can look forward to the next matches and how the team will develop with optimism.
The season starts on the first weekend in August in the 5th league, and TSG Neustrelitz seems well positioned to face the challenges with a strong squad. It will be interesting to see whether the players can improve their performance in the next friendly against Energie Cottbus in order to take a positive momentum into the new season.
