Union Berlin is looking for his carefree after two defeats without his own goal. Coach Urs Fischer lets the strikers practice automatisms. He found the replacement for the suspended defender Knoche. Emotional storm damage is irreparable.
Finally, Max Kruse is no longer the top issue at 1. FC Union. On Thursday, the Irons were much more about the fall of a symbol of real greatness and steadfastness.
The imposing fir tree directly in front of the An der Alten Försterei office, which was always festively decorated with large, red balls before Christmas, snapped over in the morning due to storm “Ylenia”. “The tree is gone. We are all very sad,” said head of communications Christian Arbeit at the press conference before the Bundesliga game at Arminia Bielefeld.
Coach Urs Fischer listened attentively before he then continued to answer the sporting questions before the planned trip by train to the game against the 15th in the table – if the storm allows it. on Saturday (3.30 p.m./ in the BZ live ticker) to East Westphalia. Of course, Union still has quiet doubts after two defeats without their own goal since the noisy departure of the difference player Kruse to VfL Wolfsburg.
Fischer forbids any factual connection between transfer events and current results anyway. The 2-0 draw against Augsburg and the 3-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund are very different, said the 55-year-old. Nevertheless, the Swiss took on his attackers again this week in search of great carefreeness.
“It was worked, logically. You can’t do that at the push of a button, that there is an automatism of knowing what you have to do,” said Fischer. Andreas Voglsammer was also present at the automatism training. Like defensive players Gießelmann and Dominque Heintz, the former Arminia player was able to practice all week. All corona infections have been overcome.

Whether Voglsammer was in the starting XI against his ex-colleagues as a reward seemed too strange to the coach. It is more likely that Fischer will return to Taiwo Awoniyi and new signing Sven Michel to remedy the goal drought.
The occupation of the defensive center could be more decisive anyway. After his fifth yellow card, defense chief Robin Knoche is the only current failure that Fischer has to compensate for. Heintz or Timo Baumgartl will replace Knoche in a central, defensive role. He’s already made up his mind, said Fischer, without revealing his secret.
