Hertha coach Cristian Fiél knows what to expect. The boss coach of the Berliner congratulated his team on a good performance despite the 1-2 defeat at Fortuna Düsseldorf and must expect his release after the fourth defeat.
“I don’t expect anything at the moment. If the results are as they are, it doesn’t help that the team lives, ”said the 44-year-old, who, after eight months, probably has no future with Hertha.
“In such a moment, football can be bitter,” said Fiél after the unfortunate defeat with the promotion aspirant despite a 1-0 lead. The coach sounds as if he no longer counts on a future in the club. “You will see that. But if you lose four games, you don’t have many arguments, ”said the former Nuremberg coach, who can no longer experience the duel against his ex-club this weekend.
Hertha boss Weber: “In the end, football is unfortunately a result sport”
Hertha’s sports director Benjamin Weber said after the game at “Sky” when asked about the coaching question: We have now played three good games, but in the end we always didn’t take anything with us. “In the end, football – as hard as it sounds – is a result sport. We will now go home and – as we always do – analyze everything together. “
Hertha has only won once in the past nine games and can fall back to 14th place on Sunday. The hosts that have been undefeated for five, on the other hand, stay on the top teams with 37 points and in the promotion race.
You now release the trainer after one of the best appearances of the season. To Regensburg was the point where you should have reacted. Now I just hope that it doesn’t send us deeper into the crisis.
The only thing that is clear is that it is clear that it is clear, but the time can be very dangerous. The fact is, with lines like yesterday you win 9/10. Bitter, just bitter. …
Hertha defeat against Düsseldorf: Reese meets at the anniversary
Fiél had only changed his team in one position and demanded the turnaround. This initially implemented the team impressively and courageously. The hosts did not find anything in the game at all, consequently dragged on by the Berliners and consequently fell behind by Fabian Reese (13th minute). Hertha’s captain hit the far corner in his 200th second division game with the right of the penalty area and shortly afterwards even had the chance to 2-0, but failed good Fortuna keeper Florian Kastenmeier.
In front of 39,000 spectators in the Düsseldorf arena, the hour of substitute Dzenan Pejcinovic, who on his 20th birthday with a double pack within a few minutes (55th/58th) caused the turn and led his team to victory. In the final phase by Ibrahim Maza and Reese, the guests still gave good opportunities.
