New wind at Union: Svensson brings fresh team spirit into training

positive influence of Bo Svensson on the team

The 1st FC Union Berlin is experiencing a remarkable change under his new coach Bo Svensson. Andras Schafer, a Hungarian international, expressed the noticeable change in the team mood in a media round during the training camp in Neuruppin. After his return from vacation on the occasion of the European Championship, he found: "The mood is now completely different. Everyone gives everything on the square. I see many laughing faces."

Schafer noticed that Svensson presented itself much differently than his predecessors, Urs Fischer and Nenad Bjelica. While the two coaches maintain a certain distance, Svensson acts more like a "teammate". This approach could have a positive effect on team dynamics in the long term. "What is better will be shown," said the midfielder, who could not play for a long time due to a foot injury.

The new way after three years without European Cup

An exciting aspect of the new season is that the Berliners for the first time in three years do not take part in a European Cup. However, this change can also bring advantages. Schafer expressed hope that the team -related upheaval of the team with more breaks could be a support for the new building. The last season was an intensive undertaking for Union, only securing the class on the very last match day.

Preparations and outlook on the season

The return of the joy of training and game is reflected in the preparations. "We enjoy going out and training again," said Schafer. Union will compete on Saturday (5:00 p.m.) in the stadium on the old forester's company against Olympique Lyon, after which the first competitive game in the DFB Cup against SC Greifswald is pending on August 17th. The start of the season in the Bundesliga takes place with an away game at Mainz 05 on August 24th, where Svensson was active in the past.

Community and commitment in training

The training sessions under Svensson are characterized by a new team spirit. Schafer emphasizes that the operational readiness and the positive mood are clearly recognizable compared to previous years. The Italian expression "Un Esprit d’équipe", which describes the team spirit, seems to have firmly anchored in the team under Svensson. This new energy could be crucial for the upcoming challenges in the Bundesliga.
