Spectacular draw: Union Berlin and Glasgow Rangers experience peat festival

The effects of Union Berlin's 4: 4 game on team dynamics

The spectacular draw of the 1st FC Union Berlin against the Glasgow Rangers has delivered much more than just a few goals. Especially in the first half, the Iron team was able to show that not only the offensive, but also the defensive is challenged. The result of 4: 4, especially the first half of the time with a 3: 3 at halftime, has raised questions in the community and the team members that go far beyond the match day.

Analysis of the defensive problem

Two-time scorer Janik Haberer, who played on the unusual right-wing railway, commented on the defensive problem: "You saw that defensively did not work. We wanted to press early. If you are a bit too late and then lose the duels on the side, the rooms open." This statement clearly shows that despite intensive efforts to implement a pressing system, the team lacks some steps to consolidate the structure.

preparation for the coming season

The defensive is not the only concern that coach Svensson has in mind. Although the last season had serious problems with a total of 58 goals, the time until the DFB Cup game in Greifswald on August 17th remains decisive to identify and eliminate the weaknesses. In this preparation, Svensson made a complete change of staff at half -time, which brings additional challenges - especially for the integration of new players.

protection of the EM driver

In order to protect the endurance of his players, Svensson left the European Championship drivers Frederik Rönnow, Josip Juranovic, Andras Schäfer and Laszlo Benes on the bench during the game. This decision indicates long -term thinking that takes into account both the games of the current season and the requirements for players. This shows the balance between the need to achieve results and the care of the physical fitness of the players.

look at the goalkeeper position

In terms of the position of the goalkeeper, there were final changes. The trial goalkeeper Carl Klaus played in the first half and left the stadium on Saturday with two luggage. The official announcement of his obligation at the 1st FC Union followed on Sunday - a step that shows that the association may set the course for a more stable future.

The challenges of the new season

The challenges that result from this 4: 4 show the complexity that coach Svensson and his team are faced with. The balance between the offensive and the defensive is crucial in this early phase of the season. It remains to be seen how quickly the team can internalize its new style of play and whether the planned changes will actually lead to a sustainable improvement.
