The few chances that arise against top teams have to go. This is exactly what Union fails to do. Nevertheless, the Berliners believe they are on the right track even after the game in Stuttgart.
After the 0:2 (0:1) defeat at VfB Stuttgart, coaches and players from 1. FC Union Berlin unanimously complained about the Köpenick team’s poor conversion of chances. In terms of opportunities, it was a balanced game, said coach Nenad Bjelica. But: “We’re having a hard time in front of the goal at the moment.” The Berlin coach saw parallels to the defeats against FC Bayern Munich (0:1), RB Leipzig (0:2) and Borussia Dortmund (0:2) in the previous weeks.
The few goals scored by Union are “a main problem that runs through the entire season,” said national player Robin Gosens. There are just 23 hits for the 14th place in the table. after 25 match days in the Bundesliga.
“We shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that we are safe,” said Gosens after the third winless game in a row with a view to the relegation battle. “We are definitely stabilized and on the right track,” said the 29-year-old. They want to “finally get the next three points” against Werder Bremen next weekend.
Defense chief Kevin Vogt is not afraid that Union could get into a real negative vortex again. “I’m not going home here now,” he said.
