zweite Bundesliga
Willkommen auf Mertes Acker!
Hannover 96 hat das erste Testspiel der Vorbereitung mit 3:0 gewonnen. Die Tore gegen Bezirksligist TSV Pattensen erzielten Lars Gindorf (2.), Taddel Momuluh (40.) und Boris Tomiak (73./ Handelfmeter).
Für Christian Titz (54) war es das erste Spiel als neuer 96-Trainer. Acht der bislang elf Neuzugänge liefen erstmals für die Roten auf. Im Mittelpunkt – zumindest beim Anpfiff – stand aber ein anderer Fußballer.
Per Mertesacker (40) feierte sieben Jahre nach seinem offiziellen Karriere-Ende ein umjubeltes Comeback im Trikot seines Heimatvereins. Mit der Nummer 29 auf dem Rücken hielt der Weltmeister die TSV-Abwehr 32 Minuten zusammen, ließ sich dann wie geplant auswechseln. Als 4-Jähriger hatte Mertesacker hier auf Mertes Acker in Pattensen mit dem Kicken begonnen.
Marcus Mann (41) will mit Hannover 96 in die Bundesliga aufsteigen
<!–>
Den ersten Höhepunkt gab’s schon vor dem Anpfiff. 96-Boss Marcus Mann (41) sprach unerwartet von Aufstieg – bei diesem Thema war er zuletzt sehr zugeknöpft.
Mann sagte am Mikro auf Nachfrage von Stadionsprecher und Merte-Kumpel Christian Stoll (64/ehemals Werder Bremen) zum Ziel Bundesliga: „Wenn‘s ums Wollen geht, können wir das mit Ja beantworten. Jeder kann sich sicher sein, dass wir sehr ambitioniert sind.“
Eine ungewohnt offensive Formulierung vom Geschäftsführer Sport! Das klang vor einer Woche noch anders.
Nachdem Geldgeber Martin Kind (81) vorgeprescht und in BILD schon von der 1. Liga gesprochen hatte („Ja, wir wollen aufsteigen!“), zeigte sich Mann genervt: „Wenn wir jeden Tag darüber reden, kommen wir nicht schneller ins Ziel.“ Und: „Uns wird nicht der rote Teppich ausgerollt, weil wir vor über zehn Jahren mal in der Europa League gespielt haben.“
Doch die Euphorie, die der neuen 96-Mannschaft entgegenschlägt, macht offensichtlich was – auch mit Mann. 2000 Fans kamen zum Trainingsstart vor einer Woche. 2000 jubelten dem Titz-Team in Pattensen zu. Zum zweiten Testkick bei Viertliga-Aufsteiger HSC Hannover (Samstag, 15.30 Uhr) werden mindestens 1500 erwartet.
„Wir müssen den Spagat hinbekommen, uns einzuspielen aber auch von Anfang an gut zu punkten“, sagt Mann: „An anderen Standorten wird auch gut gearbeitet. Wir gehen demütig ran, aber am liebsten gewinnen wir.“
Hannover 96 startet am 2./3. August gegen Kaiserslautern in die neue 2. Liga. Danach geht’s nach Düsseldorf. Beide Gegner gelten als Mitfavoriten – für Mann, Titz und das neue Hannover 96 ist es eine erste Standortbestimmung.
Mega-Frust nach Final-Pleite: Ulm-Star feuert Silbermedaille weg!
Mertesacker-Eltern gucken zu
Zurück zum Mertesacker-Comeback: Vor den Augen von Papa Stefan und Mama Bärbel sowie den Brüdern Timo und Dennis genoss der „Lange“ sein 32-Minuten-Comeback. Am Donnerstagabend war er in Pattensen angekommen, schaute am Freitag bei zwei Terminen seiner Stiftung vorbei. Am Wochenende geht’s zurück nach London.
Beflügelt vom berühmten Abwehr-Chef machten die Bezirksliga-Kicker aus Pattensen ein richtig gutes Spiel. Merte nach der Auswechslung: „Großes Dankeschön an Pattensen und alle Hannoveraner. Beim frühen 0:1 stimmte die Abstimmung nicht. Aber wir haben die erste Halbzeit ein gutes Gesicht gezeigt.“ In der zweiten auch!
Kurz vor der Pause hätte es sogar beinahe mit dem Ehrentreffer geklappt. Adrian Wegener (23) brachte den Ball in der 44. Minute wuchtig aufs Tor. Doch Leo Weinkauf konnte den Knaller des quirligen jungen Manns mit der Nummer 14 und der flippigen Frisur entschärfen.
Kurz nach Wiederanpfiff holte Weltmeister Ron-Robert Zieler (48., 54.) gleich zwei Freistöße von Darius Marotzke (28) aus dem Winkel.
Die fünf Spielklassen Unterschied waren in den 90 Minuten selten zu sehen. Um aufzusteigen, muss Hannover 96 deutlich zulegen. Aber es ist ja noch viel Zeit bis zum Start.
Hannover 96 (erste Hälfte): Weinkauf – Knight, Aseko, Blank – Sterner, Gindorf, Leopold, Oudenne – Momuluh, Nielsen, Abdullatif
Hannover 96 (zweite Hälfte): Zieler – Allgeier, Tomiak, Meulens – Matsuda, Roggow, Taibi (75. Chakroun), Neubauer – Kurt, Wörl, Rochelt

4 Takeaways From the Blue Jays’ ALCS Game 6 Win Over the Mariners
While the National League Championship Series was decided with the minimum, the AL counterpart will go the maximum. With a chance to reach the World Series for the first time in their franchise’s history Sunday night in Toronto, the Mariners were stifled in Game 6 of the ALCS by a 22-year-old rookie starter who had other ideas in a 6-2 Blue Jays win, setting up a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night. Here are my takeaways: 1. With the season on the line, Jays’ rookie wins the battle The last time Trey Yesavage and Logan Gilbert faced off in Game 2, neither left with an impressive line. Yesavage was unable to baffle Blue Jays hitters with his splitter the way he did against the Yankees in the American League Division Series, while Gilbert looked rusty coming off just two days of rest after being […]
Dak Prescott Is Playing Like an MVP, and the Cowboys Defense Finally Did Its Part
ARLINGTON, Texas - What if your quarterback has an MVP-caliber season, but your defense is so bad you can't even make the playoffs? Call it the Joe Burrow effect.It was one thing when the Cowboys scored 40 and managed only a tie against the Packers, another when they scored 27 and still lost to the Panthers.So, this past week, in defensive meetings, the message was clear and urgent for Dallas players: Don't let an amazing season by Dak Prescott get buried in high-scoring losses."We talk about it all the time: When you've got an offense like this, that's a championship offense, and we don't want to let that go to waste," defensive tackle Kenny Clark said. "I'm just being real. We have to keep improving and keep stepping up, because they're balling. They're putting up points, and you saw today, […]
NFL Week 7 Team of the Week: Jalen Hurts and His Star Receiver Make the Cut
Each week, we’ll offer up the very best of the NFL for a given week, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had.We’ll pick one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end – OK, this is sounding a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team – as a way to look back on the weekend that was.A star running back returns to the team, while the quarterback finally got his passing game going to the point that one of his receivers ended up on this list with him.I hear you already, pointing out that Bo Nix had four total touchdowns in the fourth quarter alone as part of a remarkable comeback win for the Broncos. Hurts delivered his best performance of the season, still mistake-free but remarkably efficient by going 19-for-23 for 326 yards […]
FOX MLB Crew Reacts To Shohei Ohtani’s Monster Game 4: ‘Best Athlete On the Planet’
Shohei Ohtani's performance in Game 4 of the NLCS is already being heralded as the great individual performance in MLB history, postseason or not.But is Ohtani the greatest player the league has ever seen?"You can’t say he’s the greatest player ever, because he has to have a longer career; you have to do this for a long time," Derek Jeter said during Sunday's "MLB on FOX Pregame" show. "We’ve had Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and a lot of players come through this game."But I think you can say he has the greatest toolset of any player that we’ve seen."‘We are witnessing greatness’ 👑 Big Papi, A-Rod, & Derek Jeter on Shohei Ohtani’s LEGENDARY NLCS Ohtani hit three home runs in the Los Angeles Dodgers' series-clinching Game 4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, and he struck out 10 batters in six […]
Players mock, boosters talk and a $55 million decision looms at Florida State
What's happening at Florida State is a perfect illustration of how fluid the idea of job security is in college football's new era. The Seminoles were an early-season darling after a convincing Week 1 win over Alabama and raced off to a 3-0 start -- exactly what coach Mike Norvell needed coming off a 2-10 2024 campaign. Then came an overtime loss to Virginia. Then Miami. Then Pittsburgh. At that point, the heat had turned up to about medium on Norvell -- no immediate firing, but perhaps in danger after this season if all hell broke loose, and if nothing else the lead face of all 2026 hot seat content. But now things are at a scalding temperature. In the early hours of Sunday morning, on the East Coast at least, Florida State lost 20-13 to lowly Stanford, a game […]
