Hertha coach criticizes the team
Pál Dárdai launched the next verbal attack on his team. After he had gruffly criticized Hertha BSC’s transfer policy, the coach shot his players after the previous clap in the Bundesliga in Cologne (2:5) and thus met with both praise and criticism in the TM community. On Saturday against Bochum it’s about the last small chance to stay up in the league. But his team continues to puzzle Dárdai.
Most expensive Bundesliga squads: These were the teams that paid the most
The Hertha coach obviously does not see the weaknesses in the commitment of his professionals improved before the relegation final against VfL. “It’s not nice to talk about it with your own players at the end of the season: Please run a meter. They have to change that completely, ”said the Hungarian on Thursday. He has “never worked with a team where the will, the work against the ball, the basics, disappear along the way”.
The team would have shown these virtues in the home win against Stuttgart two weeks ago. A week later against Cologne not at all. That was incomprehensible, said Dárdai. The Berliners have to win on Saturday (3:30 p.m.) to have a minimal chance of staying up. In the event of a draw or a defeat, the seventh Bundesliga relegation would be certain. But even with a win, Hertha could be relegated at the weekend if rivals Schalke and Stuttgart also win.

“We know it’s out of our hands. You can lose a lot on weekends. But that has to make you sharp, make you awake, make you greedy,” said the coach. “You have to make something positive out of the negative. We’re trying to tease that out.”
After the 2: 5 in Cologne, Dárdai assumed that his protégés did not want to develop further. But Hertha needs players like that “and not professionals who come to Hertha and are satisfied with their life, their car and chic imicki. Then there is no performance. You need players with will, mentality and determination,” says Dárdai. He identified a “mental problem” right after the game on Friday. He said: “When Cologne went up the pace, we had a huge deficit. We can’t keep up with every counterattack, with every sprint over 30 meters.”
After license area head Andreas Neuendorf recently criticized the players and coach Dárdai also emphasized his view of a failed transfer policy (“The team was just bought that way”), Dárdai’s clear words against his team are partly well received in the Transfermarkt community. “Now they should realize that they are in a position to turn their career around. The salaries that Preetz and Bobic threw around will no longer exist for them for the time being, provided they continue to appear so desolate,” agrees TM user “030berlinstand” with the coach’s statement. “bluedream”, on the other hand, complained: “His analysis of the opponent before the game would have been more important. Occupy wings twice, prevent flanks. plate out. Moaning about the squad afterwards is cheap.”

Kempf & Cigerci questionable – 60,000 fans expected in Berlin
Central defender Marc Oliver Kempf and midfielder Tolga Cigerci are still doubtful for Hertha on Saturday. However, Dárdai considers defensive chief Kempf to be likely. Filip Uremovic (concussion) and Jessic Ngankam (suspended) are definitely out. Meanwhile, the fans are loyal to Hertha. The Berliners are expecting well over 60,000 spectators in the Olympic Stadium, including almost 10,000 VfL fans.
