Could be. But if you are mentally and physically exhausted and then get something on top of that....you have to recover from that first. Some say that the professionals have to cope with that. But in the end, they are just as human as many others. We have to wait for the first games.
Well said, as far as exhausted and being drained because of the games well that is pretty normal and I think they would just need a good rest and every team should still priorities a good rest from day to day it would surely help a lot aswell, and 2nd Bundesliga games will surely resume on January 15 because of the holiday season, and I think that is a good long break they needed to prepare for the next game and perspective from the standings Darmstadt sure has a chance to overtake FC St. Pauli from the 1st place but there are still chance for St. Pauli to defend their position to secure their place from moving on the 1st division, and right now not only Darmstadt is doing great but Heidenheim and Schalke are doing their all and pretty much upped their performance lately, looking forward to these two clubs, if they can reach St. Pauli and Darmstadt in the clash.
