Coach Dardai "doesn't want to be a burden"

Coach Pal Dardai fears no dismissal at Bundesliga bottom Hertha BSC, but puts himself up for grabs.

“I’m not hanging from my seat, I’m helping out,” said the Hungarian on Sunday: “Hertha BSC has probably been looking for a great coach for a long time. Pal is a small coach, a nice coach. He helps out as long as he can should be.”

Should a star coach be hired, “then Pal will go back to the U16s immediately and do his thing as before,” added Dardai one day after the 5-0 defeat at Bayern Munich: “I don’t want to be a burden here or anything some.”

However, Dardai was annoyed by what he believed to be too high expectations in the environment of the club, which wants to make it to the European Cup in the medium term with the help of the total of 375 million euros from investor Lars Windhorst. “Reality and wishes at Hertha BSC are so far apart,” criticized Dardai: “If a great coach comes, then he will sit here – and hopefully great players will also come for him.”

He did not want to direct “no allegations at all” to sports director Fredi Bobic or the scouting, “but we know the transfer period was difficult”.

Bayern notes: Radio Müller has full reception – Stanisic with insane statistics

1/17

FC Bayern Munich won 5-0 against Hertha BSC on the 3rd matchday of the Bundesliga. The scores and individual reviews of all FCB players used.

2/17

MANUEL NEUER: Basically completely unemployed, with the few Berlin appearances in front of his case without any problems. Grade: 3.5.

3/17

JOSIP STANISIC: Best two-fighter in the record championship, won almost 70 percent of his direct duels and brought all of his 26 passes in the opposing half to the man. In addition, combative and enthusiastic. Grade: 2.5.

4/17

DAYOT UPAMECANO: Excellent performance, was in control of the situation at all times and won most of his duels. Went down for break – apparently a precaution. Grade: 3.5.

5/17

NIKLAS SÜLE: With one or the other positional error and bad passport, which however had no consequences. Came on most of the ball actions at Bayern (106) and won almost 80 percent of his duels. Grade: 3.5.

6/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES: Very offensively on the way and with a lot of ball contacts – like Müller’s 1-0, for which he provided the template. Defensive without any problems. Note 3.

7/17

JOSHUA KIMMICH: As usual, clarified in the midfield center. Made some smart passes to the top. Against the ball this time not as dominant as often. Grade: 3.5.

8/17

THOMAS MÜLLER: Involved in almost all dangerous offensive actions. Deliberate conclusion to his goal to make it 1-0. His conquest of the ball plus an assist made it 3-0, at 4-0 he played the clever one-two with Sane. Grade: 1.5.

9/17

LEON GORETZKA: His bad pass after two minutes gave Selke a great chance. Headed very thinly after Kimmich corner at 2-0 (26th), a little later with the submission to 2-0. Note 3.

10/17

SERGE GNABRY: Above all, he shone as a preparer: His ball win and the strong dribbling initiated the 1-0. In addition, the great cross with the left from the ankle, which led to the 2-0. Played with a lot of self-confidence and often found depth. Grade: 2.

11/17

JAMAL MUSIALA: Fought the most duels (22) at FCB and won over half of them. Often on the half-track and in the tens. Had his feet in the 1-0 game and scored nicely to make it 3-0. Was said goodbye with a standing ovation. Grade: 2.

12/17

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Well done, to leave Müller before the 1-0. Scored 2-0, 4-0 and 5-0 and thus in the 13th BL game in a row – a new personal record. Surpassed Gerd Müller, because he now netted in the 16th competitive game in a row. Note 1.

13/17

TANGUY NIANZOU: He came on for Upamecano at break. Shortly afterwards he reached out to Selke and was lucky that he didn’t see yellow. Otherwise had as little to do as the rest of the defense. Put it 5-0. Grade: 3.5.

14/17

LEROY SANE: Came for Musiala after 61 minutes and was welcomed benevolently by the Munich audience after the whistle against Cologne. Shortly afterwards with the introduction and submission at 4-0. Note 3.

15/17

KINGSLEY COMAN: Gnabry went out for him after 67 minutes. His volley shot rushed over the housing (76th). Grade: 3.5.

16/17

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: The final nine minutes for Müller came on, but without any significant action. No rating.

17/17

BOUNA SARR: Arrived for Stanisic in the 81st minute. No rating.

Hertha appearance at Bayern “shocking”

The sporting oath of disclosure in Munich was not only due to the quality in the squad, emphasized the coach. When he saw the drooping heads of his players in the half-time address, “it was shocking”.

During the international break, he also wanted to mentally build up the professionals, because after that there were two key games against the newly promoted VfL Bochum and SpVgg Greuther Fürth. They want to come back “in combat mode,” said Dardai.
