Hertha BSC: Bobic calls for rest “from everyone” – players “don’t read anyway”

Sporting crisis & investor criticism

Sports director Fredi Bobic has called for more calm in the area after a turbulent week at the Bundesliga club Hertha BSC, which is threatened with relegation. “Is it really important to talk about a movie? Honestly, that has nothing to do with the game either,” said Bobic on Thursday before Hertha’s important away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach, which was also in crisis, on Saturday (6:30 p.m.).

On Wednesday, a dispute broke out again between the “Tennor” group around Hertha’s million-dollar investor Lars Windhorst and the Hertha executive committee after a report about bursting plans for a documentary film. Windhorst could try a showdown with President Werner Gegenbauer at the next general meeting in order to gain more influence.

There are a lot of loud noises around the club, which is difficult, said Bobic. He calls for rest “from everyone, really from everyone”. The topic does not play a role in the team. “Many don’t read anyway, they just post,” said Bobic. “But of course you wish in times like this that there would be greater cohesion. We are working on that.”

In terms of sport, the Berliners have enough worries: Hertha has not yet won a game this year, in the second half of the season there have only been two points. After four defeats in a row, the club has slipped down to relegation rank, just one point ahead of VfB Stuttgart. “We have to score points at the weekend,” Bobic said to the team and coach Tayfun Korkut on Tuesday.

Losing “forbidden” according to Korkut – Hertha BSC gets Corona help

“Losing is forbidden, I have nothing against that,” Korkut summarized himself on Thursday. If he loses again, it will be tight for him. “We have something to make up for,” said the coach, referring to the 4-1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.

However, like him “foosball” reported, the capital city residents received 7 million euros from the federal government’s Corona funding program. The money has arrived after the grant application submitted last October was approved in February. “Contrary to all of our hopes, the pandemic is still keeping us in suspense and is having a major economic impact, especially in terms of viewer income. We therefore applied for bridging aid III from the federal Corona funding program, approved it and received it,” confirmed CFO Ingo Schiller to the magazine.
