Boateng also tried to help against the ball, although the aforementioned Magath top positions in “mileage” and “sprints against the ball” are all the more astonishing when you consider that they also include Boateng’s data. Kevin-Prince, who is already remarkably wide-legged, tends to compensate for his lack of dynamics with even more width. Then he lowers his body’s center of gravity when chasing the ball and for a moment you don’t know whether to be impressed by the fact that he now half-waddles like a duck or rather by the fact that he actually looks broad like two Hertha players.
Sustainability instead of fairy tales
Boateng’s forces lasted 71 minutes in Bielefeld. Would Hertha have taken the lead with him over time? In the Felix Magath table (since matchday 27), the Berliners would then have been fourth (instead of seventh). At least the direct descent would definitely have been prevented. In the 500th game that Felix Magath looked after from a Bundesliga bench.
And Arminia Bielefeld should have been asked why they wore an event jersey for this game that read “No one conquers the Teutoburg Forest”. In the end, however, the fact that it was about environmental protection and sustainability fitted into the picture quite well. Because Felix Magath may be showing Hertha that that is exactly what is needed: sustainability. And if you absolutely need a fairy tale, just look at the Prince.
