With this sentence, Union coach Urs Fischer lifts the lid: “I would have liked to have had a little more respect.”

In the event of a 1-1 draw, Union Berlin will travel back to Germany after the Champions League guest match in Naples. What does not help the Iron Men in Group C still feels like a relief to coach Urs Fischer. “It’s pretty good in the end,” the Zurich man replied after the match when asked how he would best describe the result.

Union Berlin has lost twelve games in a row in all competitions. The team from the Köpenick district rarely performed poorly. But time and time again the team robbed itself of the reward through missed chances and stupid goals. The relief after the respectable draw against Napoli is great.

“Now I’m speechless”

At the press conference after the match there was not only a relieved Urs Fischer to be seen. During the question and answer session it also becomes clear how much the series of bankruptcies in recent weeks has eaten away at the Swiss coach.

The series of consecutive defeats is now over, one of the journalists present said after the draw. And then continues provocatively: “But it has already been 13 games without a Union victory.” Fischer doesn’t need to hear anything more. Just a few minutes after the almost historic negative spiral was broken, Fischer does not want to be confronted with the next bad statistic.

Fischer first falls back in his chair, rolls his eyes and then becomes clear: “I would have liked a little more respect. Now I’m a bit speechless.” He then ignores the journalist’s statement and – visibly irritated – continues with the sporting analysis of the match.

Now against Xhaka & Co.

The next chance to end Union Berlin’s winless streak is next weekend. However, the task couldn’t be more difficult. Urs Fischer’s team will be guests at leader Leverkusen on Sunday (kick-off 3:30 PM, live on the ticker).

A draw would not really help Union on its way out of the Bundesliga table cellar. But against the undefeated Leverkusen team around midfield director Granit Xhaka it would certainly be liberating again.
