Today morning the club President Azeem, Coach Leonard Pavel and Director Chellappa Pralad held a press conference at Wittelsbacher Klasse announcing their views on their new league and thanking their loyal fans for the support during this difficult time ”We know that the fans are disappointed with the relegation. We are as much sad and disappointed with how the season panned out and caused the relegation but we should not loose hope. We are Zabardusts and we don’t give up. We played every match last season to win and we did have big wins but unfortunately we also had to suffer big defeats. We the board of Langer House were prepared for everything that can happen and thus we had a plan prepared for life at serie II”

The  President continues by commenting some of the positive aspects of last season ”Other parts of our season showed glimpses of promise. We participated in the HTUM Challenge Trophy final this season and we were quite competitive but yet had to settle for runners-up to Krosnianka Karpaty Krosno and then we lost to them again in Golden League semi-final. So there is plenty of promise shown by the players and I think with a little experience we can attain I-League status once again”

It was then announced that some of the players at the club had to leave in an effort to revamp the squad and Director Pralad commented ”unfortunately due to this relegation we had to manage our financial stability first and thus some of the players will leave soon as an agreement has been met with some clubs. Joakim Fyhrlund, Gandolf Besenkamp, Hmed Jenayah and Priteesh Shrivastava will leave the club. As promised we have immediately recruited the services of  Swiss midfielder Roli Wetterwald”

The coach spoke of his disappointment at the departures but has put faith in the club. ”Joakim, Kamp and Hmed were important players who played important role in the squad and Priteesh is a promising youngeter but it has to be understood the position of the club and the future. I am delighted with the arrival of Roli Wetterwald and I am sure he will prove to be a success. I have been promised more recruitment’s this season who will arrive as per the requirement of the squad”

The coach then took the opportunity to comment on the new opponents of Langer House. ”Certainly the league looks quite strong and tight. The winners of last season’s Indian Cup Bangalore Tigers are the bright spot of this serie and understandably start as the favorites after their heroics in the cup last season. BLUE XI, Bishop Cotton Boys were quite competitive last season in this serie and Bunte Kori are quite well known. Its a competitive league and I think we have a difficult task this season”

Today afternoon’s 3-1 defeat to Estrella Negra Bengaluru all but ended the Zabardusts hopes of survival in the prestigious I-League. Coach Leonard Pavel wasted no time in turning attention towards tomorrow’s HTUM Challenge Trophy final against Polish side Krosnianka Karpaty Krosno.

”It has been a disappointing season for us.- commented coach Leonard Pavel – We lost important players through injury during crucial stages of the season and that hurt us a lot. We did really well to be fighting so far with all the injuries. We still have a slight chance if we can win next week against Dinamo Shiva who have proved their quality this season and won’t be an easy opponent at all”

The coach wants to end the season on a high note and thus has set his sights on a double friendly titles. ”Langer House are one of those teams who sees the Golden League and HTUM Challenge Trophy as very prestigious and that can be seen through our participation in both the competitions are very regular. We have participated in every HTUM Challenge Trophy so far and we had shown a lot of promise but usually were left disappointed with the Semi-final being the best we had done”

This season Langer House has gone a step closer to HTUM Challenge Trophy and will participate in the final against Krosnianka Karpaty Krosno but is aware that getting the trophy to Wittelsbacher Klasse would require a perfect performance. ”After waiting for so long we can finally participate in the final and we don’t want to let this chance slip through. KKK has shown their class this season and their name itself can strike fear into the opponent. We don’t fear but we know we need to be at our best if we are to win this match. I am confident my boys will be a tricky opponent for KKK”

Immediately after the HTUM Challenge trophy (Season 7) final Langer House will be back in Golden League action against  Romanian side FC X-Team at Ecaterina Teodoroiu on Wednesday 10.00 HT time.

Late goals by Revenge of the Noobs fell Langer House to a disappointing 3-1 defeat away to RoN. A closely fought match showcasing good football was also involved some ugly challenges which left two Zabardusts needing treatment and lengthy time on the medical bench. The coach though refused to blame the players for the defeat rather blaming it on poor refereeing.

“It was a good match which I didn’t enjoy as there were some ugly incidents as well – commented coach Leonard Pavel after the final whistle- I made big mistakes this match with the orders in the second half which crippled us more than the injuries but still I am struggling to convince myself why Franquelim Resendes was not sent off for that challenge? It was a horrible horrible challenge which leaves Ibarra out for weeks and the injury to Vlasenko was another bad tackle where the referee didn’t even blow his whistle. The performance of the lads was absolutely brilliant and goals we conceded were unfortunate”

Coach then answered a few questions regarding Claudio Piazzo‘s situation in the team. “Claudio is in my plans and as I am also focusing on the Indian Cup, we need able players to compete in the cup. I can’t play all strikers in one game. There are only eleven players allowed. Is Claudio to depart? Its not in my hand”

The competition is very close and seems like it will go down to the last match of the season”

The coach then praised the goal from the winger that won the match “It was class. The shot was the best I have seen. Henrik Zwagerman , Joakim Fyhrlund and Pandi Bhupathiraju played a good game but the goal always makes the headlines”

It has been a mixed start to the season for Langer House. After a disappointing defeat in the league on Sunday to Dinamo Shiva the Zabardusts impressed in the Indian Cup beating the state of Maharashtra 8-0 to go through into the third round of the cup.

In the league Dinamo Shiva came out victorious  2-0 against Langer House after two second half goals from Andreas Færgemann and Jozo Krajnović saw them enough to make a winning start to the season. Even after a defeat coach Leonard Pavel was happy with what he saw “I think Dinamo Shiva played really well and they are a top quality side. We made them work for the victory which was good to see. It is early in the season and our midfield will take time to set because it is weaker than our rival’s midfield. So in today’s match we knew we would loose the midfield battle and thus strengthened the other parts of the team and it was good to see that we were better in defense and attack than them. It gives me confidence that we will recover quickly”

Langer House has a tough task at hand as they face former Indian champions and former cup winners Estrella Negra Bengaluru at Wittelsbacher Klasse.
