HANSA ROSTOCK
TEAM NOTES
Coach: Joerg Berger (since November 2004) Bundesliga (RELEGATED)
Record: 7-18-9
Rank: 17th, 30 points
Last Result: 2-1 loss at Borussia Dortmund, May 21
Streak: Lost 1 Hansa bowed out of the Bundesliga with a 2-1 loss at Dortmund. They are the last former East German team to be relegated from the Bundesliga. "It just wasn't enough," Joerg Berger said afterwards. "We wasted too many scoring opportunities." Rade Prica, for instance, netted six goals but also squandered 13 "great chances," according to stats keepers. Jari Litmanen's future remains in balance. "I'm not sure what will happen," he said. "I will make a decision after two international friendlies." Thomas Rasmussen is keen to join Nurnberg, but Hansa are unlikely to let him go. Hansa lost their first seven home matches and didn't win any of their first 12. "I have never seen a team that was so frightened to play at home," Berger said. Rostock scored only 31 goals this season, 24 fewer than last year.
