Strikers are measured by goals. Union coach Urs Fischer (56) reminds his attackers of this.

Kevin Behrens (31) reveals how. When asked about the upcoming games, he says: “I want to continue to step on the gas and – as the coach says – add a few points, i.e. goals and assists. I’m working on that.”

So the lines are notes that Fischer makes about his strikers’ sense of achievement in his documents. Behrens has five lines so far: three goals, two assists.

And with the other offensive forces? Top scorer Sheraldo Becker has collected 14 points (8 goals/6 assists) in 23 competitive games so far, Jordan Siebatcheu seven (4/3) and Sven Michel five (5/0). Jamie Leweling’s record: one assist.
