Artis table: Mainz Jonas Hofmann clears before Kevin Volland
At a new league leaders Mainz could be 05 and TSG Hoffenheim not agree. Instead, the two even after six games unbeaten teams march in lockstep by the league and share – probably only up to the Saturday games – second place behind Bayern Munich. After 0: 0 in a direct duel at the start of the sixth matchday of the Bundesliga, they have continued the same number of points (10) and obtained and conceding goals (9: 5). “I agree with the point, even though we would have liked looked at the table with us at the top,” said Mainz manager Christian Heidel.

In an uneventful Friday night game before 28,700 spectators, both teams were eager to end a busy week on British security. Hoffenheim had in preparation for this even after the three goals conceded in 3 against Freiburg supposedly have to show video sequences to correct defensive behavior for one hour of her coach Markus Gisdol 3
.
In the game despite only 42 percent possession of the Baden then had the better chances for a victory that would have the club for the first time introduced the position at the top of the table for at least 24 hours since August 2011. But Anthony Modeste (10th minute) and Roberto Firmino (33/61) knew the best chance of the game what to do. Mainz 05 was only twice nearly as close to scoring a goal: First, Filip Djuricic went to careless with a great chance when he tried to outsmart after submission of Jonas Hofmann the Hoffenheim final Mannn Oliver Baumann by pass-Lupfer, instead of the ball factually flat into the goal to push (36th).

The once trained in the Hoffenheim youth Hofmann forced Baumann later to another brilliant save (53) and was not only because these two attack actions, but because of his speed and courage to dribble, the best Mainz on the field and a notable exception in the otherwise slow performance.
The lack of dynamism in the game the home team certainly had a good reason: They had to renounce her five times already successful this season striker Shinji Okazaki, whose left calf in the words of his coach Kasper Hjulmand after an unnoticed by the referee kick his opponent Carlos Zambrano the 2: 2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday “blue and yellow” was. Contrary to the hope Hjulmands from the day before that Okazaki legally as “Samurai”, the Japanese were without ultimately. Okazaki replacement Sami Allagui beamed far from the danger like the Japanese. “Not to replace Shinjiist for us, so we had less Durchschagskraft” said Manager Heidel. “But that does not mean we Shinji 3:. Would have won 0″ coach Hjulmand assessed the situation to the effect positive that it is “an important experience for his team and their offensive game was” having to do without Okazaki “
The final signal to be satisfied with a point Hjulmand sent five minutes before the final whistle, as if he took the actually always set central Mainz impeller Johannes Geis for purely defensive specialist Gonzalo Jara from the game. It therefore, reason prevails over the daring, the result of thinking about the pleasure of playing. Now with ten points from six matches without defeat before the season by each too early failure in Cup and Europa League qualification plagued Mainz, however, may be satisfied with their start to the season under new coach Hjulmand, the date still feel a Bundesliga defeat only knows from stories.
