The players, aware of the importance of this match for their coach, transformed the negative energy from the stands into positive motivation on the field. Ibrahim Maza, a young talent of 18, even revealed after the match: “This match was important for our coach. We gave 15% more for him.” This determination allowed the team to achieve another away success.
Towards a positive momentum
With this victory, Hertha BSC has achieved its second consecutive away win, thus confirming its strength away from home. Captain Toni Leistner expressed his satisfaction regarding the team’s defensive performances in the second half: “We defended well against crosses and managed to maintain our lead until the end of the match,” he specified.
Cristian Fiel was also pleased with his team’s performance. His assessment of the match highlights the importance of solid defense throughout the encounter. In conclusion, this victory not only allowed Hertha BSC to strengthen its position in the standings but also sent a strong signal of unity and support for their coach. With this success, the future looks promising for the Berlin club.
