Niko Kovac and Pal Dardai reminded almost of an old married couple. The coach of the Bundesliga team from Munich and Berlin, had to apply for the third successive words meeting this season, hardly, in order to bring their mutual appreciation. Dardai knocked his old companions in friendship on the shoulder, Kovac returned the favor with a slap on the thigh, before he passed, however, for the analysis and a set of said, liked his colleagues, visually. “We had great difficulties, because Hertha has done really, really well”, said Kovac after the 1:0 (0:0)-victory of his team at 23. Round.
The relief in the camp of the German football record champion was not only the coach felt. Hertha BSC had proved himself against Bayern again as an unpleasant, fractious opponent of the Munich everything and end up miserable without a point, the journey home had to compete. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is about to put a Cannoned in injury time on the Ball, that he can see quite a Yellow card would have been. The great FC Bayern, he played against the delegation from Berlin, maybe not so obvious at the time as it had given to Kovac after the Champions League knockout stage in Liverpool. That the people of Munich were difficult to do to save your guide, somehow, the finish line, however, was obviously a Form of recognition for the opponent.
almost no chances to score for Bayern
“I’m proud of the team. We have fought and all knocked out,“ said one of the most striking in the blue and white Jersey, Central defender Niklas Stark. “Bayern didn’t create many chances because we have been working super against the Ball and then we lose by a goal.” After Coach Dardai had a night out on the seventh defeat of the season, slept, said he his Team on Sunday morning also from any and all fault allegations. “In the last time, the happiness we are lacking a bit,” said the Hungarian, “but otherwise, I can’t blame my team, nothing: power, System, discipline – everything is okay.”
The Thesis of the lack of happiness was absolutely represented, not only in view of the extremely late Gegentors against Werder Bremen in the previous round, but also with a view to the last guest performance of the Berlin in Munich. In February 2018 Hertha had traveled also to Bayern, at the time an ultra was enough for defensive tactics and possibly a little assistance from above for a goalless draw and, in retrospect, could understand basically none of the parties Involved, let alone explain how it had come to this result. On Saturday it was exactly the opposite: The guests, it fell to accept visibly hard, that you left the place after a playfully combative good idea actually as loser. “40 percent possession of the ball and a two-fight ratio of 53 per cent against Bayern,” said Dardai in the Morning then, “if we continue to work so, will be rewarded. Then better times yet to come.“
Strong
For Niklas Stark is out in front, it will be difficult to increase even further, if one takes the performance of the 23-Year-old from the Saturday to the Foundation. From an already good defensive series of the Berlin stood Strong once again: He won 75 percent of his tackles and was always available when it is dangerous threatened in the Berlin penalty area. The Whole even went to the extent that Strong after the final whistle in the catacombs, the Munich-based Arena to the supposed interest of FC Bayern on their Person should Express. “I have no idea where that came from,” said Strong, “the questions come now already for the umpteenth Time.” Apparently has spread far beyond the Berlin city limits, around that Hertha with a Strong and Karim Rekik on one of the perspective’s most interesting interior defender has teams in the Bundesliga.

“It is always something very Large, if your Name is mentioned in connection with the FC Bayern,” said Strong, “but my Job is to create Connections, or to speak to the enemy.” In Berlin had grown over the years, an exciting team, added Strong. “And we have with this team a lot.”
