Maria KeaneAfter the liberation in Bochum, Hertha BSC wants to follow up with a win against the second promoted SpVgg Greuther Fürth. But the catastrophic start of the season is still in the Berliners’ clothes, you shouldn’t expect “no miracle kick” in the home game on Friday (8.30 p.m. / DAZN), said coach Pal Dardai.

“We want to win, but we have to mobilize everything for that. I expect a job win,” said the Hungarian. After the first win of the season at VfL Bochum (3: 1), the really big pressure no longer weighs on Hertha. Nevertheless, Dardai warned against the opponent who played “aggressively” and “closed the middle”. But: “We are prepared.”
The Fürth, who slipped to the bottom of the table, have for the time being said goodbye to their offensive style, which was highly successful in the 2nd division. Stand defensively and achieve success with long balls – that is now the motto. Because you “want to waste little energy on opening your own game and get through your own half without risk,” explained coach Stefan Leitl.
Hertha has to do without the ailing Stevan Jovetic, Rune Jarstein, Jordan Torunarigha and Lukas Klünter. Dardai left it open whether Marton Dardai and Krzysztof Piatek, who are back in training after their injuries, will be in the squad. “I still have to look at some values,” he said: “We don’t want to score an own goal.” –
