“The idea of bringing together the media departments of the company responsible for match operations, the academy and the women’s department under one roof is one that we’ve had for some time. With a few years of work, we have finally succeeded in creating a real TSG media house, which is now also home to our eSport activities. We will thus create synergies and optimise public relations work, as well as internal communications,” said TSG communications director Christian Frommert. In order to guarantee short paths and quick coordination, the rooms in the “Schloss Seehälde”, the building completed in 1780 and renovated in 2008, were moved into the premises of the training centre in Zuzenhausen.

Nevertheless, the head coach is not willing to rest on his laurels following the recent wins. “There are many things that we can improve on. Our desire to win always has to be present,” the Dane emphasised. One major target still remains, which is to come away with a clean sheet for the first time this season.”
