Coach Sandro Schwarz is not up for discussion with his players after another bankruptcy in the capital derby. On the contrary, as attacker Marco Richter emphasized on Saturday immediately after the 0: 2 in the Berlin Olympic Stadium against 1. FC Union. “We also have a lot of trust in the coach,” said the 25-year-old, who has been with Hertha since summer 2021.

Schwarz took over the team a year later, but is now with the team still on the penultimate place in the Bundesliga with 14 points after 18 games this season. “It’s no secret that he’s a great fit for us. He’s missing the points just like we are,” said Richter. “Hopefully we will continue on our common path.”

Hertha’s sports director Fredi Bobic had already explained after the 0: 5 at home against VfL Wolfsburg last Tuesday with a view to the black he hired: “I see how he works and what he does. We just didn’t score enough points .”

Richter promised after the third defeat in the third game of the new year: “We’re trying to do everything we can to get back on the road to success. Even if it sounds stupid: We have to step on the gas, we have to score. Anything else would be crap .”
