19th Bundesliga matchday

Berlin (dpa) – When the question about the European Cup qualities of 1. FC Union Berlin was asked of the coach of the beaten TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, Urs Fischer said quietly and somehow a bit warningly only one word: “Sebastian.”

Hoeneß, who was addressed in this way by the Swiss coach of the Irons, looked to the side for a moment and waited for his answer.

Because even if Fischer’s Unioner are now level on points with them after the 2-1 win against Hoffenheim and are in the top third of the Bundesliga table – they don’t want to move away from the goal of remaining in the class in Köpenick. Let alone spend the goal European Cup.

“I don’t think anyone really likes to come here”

“It’s definitely a team that is extremely difficult to play on for all teams in the Bundesliga,” said Hoeneß then about the Unioners in the An der Alten Försterei stadium: “I don’t think anyone really likes going here.” But for Union, as for the other teams in the area, it’s about putting 100 percent on the pitch every week.

But he also makes no secret of the fact that he is very impressed by what Fischer is doing at Union. It is amazing how stable and at what high level the team is playing. “Now you have to see where that leads. Hopefully one place behind us,” said Hoeneß.
