After the third defeat against a direct competitor in the relegation battle, the 1st FC Union Berlin started the year under the new coach Steffen Baumgart. “That the situation is dangerous, I think we all know that,” said the coach after the clear 0: 3 (0: 1) at FC St. Pauli in the Bundesliga.
The Köpenickers stand as table-14. With 20 points (appeal against the evaluation against VfL Bochum) still six before the relegation relegation rank, but the balance under Baumgart is worrying. Four games among the 53-year-old only have one win and three defeats. If you look at the last five games, there are only six teams in Europe’s top 5 leagues. “We have to appear differently,” said the coach.
According to Baumgart, Berliners can “take a lot with them” from the defeats. It is definitely clear: “We need to know what we can do and what we cannot. And the combination may not be in our strength. ”Therefore, his eleven must play“ clearer forward ”and win the balls there.
The next Saturday (6.30 p.m./Sky), Champions League participant RB Leipzig will be a guest in Berlin. “The opponents don’t get smaller. And we still have to score further, ”emphasized Baumgart. Then the TSG Hoffenheim, Borussia Mönchengladbach and BVB are waiting.
