"I won't watch tomorrow's game" - Heidenheim coach Schmidt believes in his team
Few matches leave such a lasting emotional impact as Heidenheimās dramatic 3-3 draw in Munich, and Frank Schmidtās post-match reflections captured the sheer cruelty of football at the highest level.
After leading 3-2 deep into stoppage time, Heidenheim looked set for a famous victory - only for Michael Oliseās last-second effort to take a deflection off goalkeeper Diant Ramaj and end up in the net.
Schmidt described the decisive moment with visible frustration:
āI always tell the boys: only get angry after the final whistle. The goal from Olise in the last minute is incredibly unlucky for us. The shot isnāt really going in, but then it rebounds off the goalkeeperās back - thatās unbelievably bad luck.ā
The nature of the equalizer summed up a game that had already been full of twists and standout performances from the underdogs. Despite facing one of Europeās elite sides, Heidenheim had shown courage, discipline, and clinical finishing - qualities their coach believes can still carry them to safety.
Looking ahead to the decisive final matchdays, Schmidt made it clear that his belief in the team remains unshaken:
āIf we play in the next two matches like we have in recent weeks, and especially like today, then I believe the boys are capable of winning both games.ā
With Heidenheim still locked in a tight relegation battle, attention will now turn to their direct rivals. However, Schmidt admitted he will keep his distance from external developments - for now.
āI wonāt be watching tomorrowās match. Iāll probably get messages after the final whistle, but Iām not hoping for that - because that would probably mean we still have a chance.ā
His final remark reflects both realism and quiet hope. Heidenheimās fate may not be entirely in their own hands, but their performance in Munich has at least kept the door ajar.
Frank Schmidt stated he won't watch the next game as a show of confidence in his team after their recent emotional draw.
