By Oliver Knack

1700 fans will accompany the team. The Union coach spoke before the duel (3:30 p.m.). Urs Fischer about the encounter. fisherman over…

… the opponent Darmstadt: Your start in the cup was not ideal. But they showed a very good reaction in the away game in Frankfurt. A draw would have been possible. They are full of expectations, they have a new stadium, a great atmosphere. It’s a good team that’s very compact, well organized and has physicality. They have a good mix, good transitions. We must not allow too many standards. It’s going to be a nasty task.

“You can see his handwriting a bit”

… Coach Lieberknecht: We have met and exchanged ideas. But it is then limited to the match day. You can already see a bit of the handwriting, keyword compactness, organization. But I didn’t follow the whole preparation. We watched the last three or four games. It takes six games to see real handwriting.

… the last meeting in May 2019: I still remember the game. It was a very important game. But we deservedly lost 2-1 and we made it in the end. It will be a difficult task.

… about center forwards like Kevin Behrens: There are plenty of examples of target players like him from Behrens’ approach. A striker who feels comfortable in the penalty area. Kevin’s headball strength is added to this. It was a really great performance from him. He worked, tirelessly worked on himself. Every time you train, you try to push yourself to the limit.

He scored three goals. It is then measured against that. He has to confirm that now. But I don’t think he’ll be able to score three header goals in every game.

… the duel Robin Gosens vs. Jerome Roussillon: When it comes to processes, logical, Robin has only been there a week. That still needs some time. But for me it’s crucial that I see every week that the new players are trying to implement the processes. But I can’t wait five or six weeks, that’s clear.
