Pal Dardai can look forward to a sold-out Olympic Stadium against Werder Bremen when he returns as head coach of Hertha BSC.
All 74,667 tickets for the game on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) have been taken, said Hertha’s spokesman Marcus Young at Thursday’s pre-game press conference.
darday praised the behavior of the fans despite another difficult sporting season at the bottom of the table.
“Respect for what they have delivered this year, also in the stands. How they pushed the team, always with patience, no whistles. It’s OK. Not that the team is even more insecure,” said the Hungarian.
After the 2: 5 in the relegation duel at Schalke 04, the Berlin annex had made their displeasure clear for the first time this season. After the change of coach to Dardai, who saved Hertha from relegation twice before, there seems to be great anticipation for the game. In addition, it should be over 20 degrees warm in Berlin on Saturday and there will be sunshine.
12,000 to 15,000 Bremen residents
There is also a big rush from the Bremen side. Hertha expects between 12,000 and 15,000 Werder fans in the Olympic Stadium. Both fan camps have also called for fan marches.
