Urs Fischer will certainly need a lot of hands to shake. If the 1. FC Union on Saturday (14 clock) FC Basel for the last Test before the crunch match of the Second League against 1. FC Köln at Stadion an der Alten forsterei is located, it is for the Coach to Berlin for a meeting with his past. From 2015 to 2017, coached Fischer, the Swiss top club, some of his former players will also be in Berlin. The Swiss FCB, he won in two seasons in the championship, in the second year, even the Double. Nevertheless, the Association decided in January 2017 for a separation to the end of the season. The new Board wanted to put a new impetus, Fischer was asked in spite of his successes. A title of the former series champion hasn’t won since then.
The separation got to him rankled, told Fischer, “Neue Zürcher Zeitung”, a bad word about his former club has not heard from him. For this, Fischer is not the type. In the days before the test game, the coach was talking to. This is not the time, was the Union informed. Great sentiment but would not have been expected otherwise. Fishing things are usually sober, rational, pragmatic. He actually never in the foreground.
In Basel has been criticized by fishermen from some of the media violently
we Speak with fishermen about its Basel time, but it is quickly clear that he felt in some situations, unfairly treated. Especially his relationship to some of the media was difficult. Despite his successes, his football has been criticized partly violently. Defensively, Yes even boring he was. Of the “coward football” was the speech, and Fischer was depicted as the offended Leberwust. Something allergic, it responds to the former criticism still. “To 72 game days, we were 71 at the top. We have an absolute points and absolute scoring record. There is somebody to explain to me just a little hare of fear-soccer“, said the fisherman to the daily mirror in the autumn in an Interview.
much criticism has Fischer in Berlin, previously plugging it in. His Art is in Köpenick and the first half of the year, as Union’s coach, was almost perfect. Despite the upheaval in the summer, his team remained in the entire first half of the season unbeaten, and conceding only in the last game of the year, the first League defeat. As the Fourth Union still has decent chances of a first promotion to the Bundesliga.
Much more important than the reunion with his old companions, for fishing on Saturday that is why the sporting aspect. After three test against more weaker opponents at the training camp in Spain, Basel in the first and last of the real yardstick is to play before the home game against second-from Cologne, and to test for a good occasion, new arrival Carlos Mané under competition conditions.
Union has borrowed Mané from Sporting Lisbon until the end of the season. A purchase option at this time was also agreed. The player knows the League already. In 2017, he shot the VfB Stuttgart with six goals and nine Assists in a game back in the Bundesliga. “Carlos brings with him an incredibly high speed,” said Oliver Ruhnert, Berlin’s Director of professional football to the obligation. “Since the first contact of Union, it was clear to me that I would like to go to Berlin,” says Mané, could now celebrate against Fischer’s Ex-club in his debut.
