Hertha BSC - SC Freiburg 1: 2: Streich's Superjoker shoots Dardai and Co. even deeper into the crisis

Hertha BSC is once again in crisis in the Bundesliga. Against SC Freiburg, Berlin lost 2-1.

When the Hertha BSC players approached the east curve, the whistles of the disappointed fans swelled again. After another serious setback, nobody in the Olympic Stadium was in the mood for applause – the crisis is back.

“It’s a shame,” said coach Pal Dardai after his extremely toothless Berliners’ 2-1 (0-1) against SC Freiburg at Sky: “We didn’t make our chances and got two goals on the other side.”

The reparation for the 0: 6 bankruptcy at RB Leipzig was unsuccessful, after the fifth defeat in the seventh game of the season threatens an uncomfortable international break. He “always has a one-year contract”, said Dardai, he fulfills this contract: “If something bothers someone, you have to say so.” The team played “sensibly”.

The performance was “absolutely fine,” emphasized managing director Fredi Bobic, “we have to get up quickly. It won’t get any easier, but it’s not that we panic now.” Meanwhile, TV expert Lothar Matthäus reported on an alleged meeting between the Hertha boss and the former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic, who could inherit Dardai.

Freiburg uses corner for leadership

Freiburg defender Philipp Lienhardt (17th) and Nils Petersen (78th) scored for the guests, who remain unbeaten in the league. Krzysztof Piatek (70th) had meanwhile equalized for the Berliners.

After the total failure of Leipzig last Saturday, Dardai practiced defensive behavior from the ground up during the week. In terms of personnel, the coach relied on Kevin-Prince Boateng as one of four newcomers to the starting line-up. Together with captain Dedryck Boyata, he should strengthen the defensive.

At first, that succeeded properly – and Hertha also set the first offensive accents. Serdar intercepted a pass from Lienhart in the Freiburg half and found the recovered Stevan Jovetic (7th), who stumbled freely in front of the goal. Shortly afterwards, the striker (15th) tested Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken for the first time with a direct free kick.

The deficit two minutes later was all the more bitter. Freiburg’s EM driver Christian Günter hit a corner on Lienhardt, who prevailed against Selke and headed. Hertha then left the ball to the guests and counted on the counterattack. But there was an offensive lack of game culture. It took individual actions to become dangerous.

Marco Richter (27th) shot just past the right post after a rebound from the edge of the box. Towards the end of the first half, mistakes crept into the hosts’ build-up game, while Freiburg played more neatly. The spectators in the Olympic Stadium sent the Hertha professionals into the cabin with a shrill whistle.

The second half started with a shock for Hertha. In his own penalty area, Lucas Tousart shot at Boyata while attempting to clear, but Freiburg’s Woo-Yeong Jeong (47th) did not get the ball past goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow. With the first reasonable move, Hertha equalized when Maximilian Mittelstädt found Piatek after a pass from Serdar and he executed it ice-cold. But Petersen struck back.

Hertha BSC – SC Freiburg: The voices

Pal Dardai (coach Hertha BSC): “I think we stood well. And I can’t remember that the opponent was a dangerous goal. In the second half we weren’t offensive, we had more space. In the first half we had it under control without the ball You can’t offer hurray football. In the second half there was a possibility that the game could be overturned. If it hadn’t been for the standard goals against, you would say congratulations on how clever that was. “

Christian Streich (coach SC Freiburg): “It wasn’t easy. Hertha retired to the center line when they lost the ball. Union also plays here. The pitch wasn’t so easy to play on. We wanted to find space. We did that partly well, partly sloppy. What was very good, today was the willingness to start again. It was difficult for Hertha because they ran like the salt men. In terms of football, it was average. “
