Union Berlin in the downward strudel: Khedira calls for a spirit of optimism!

Union Berlin is in crisis! After a promising start to the season, the iron broke heavily and after five games without a win, the table slipped. In the coming game on Saturday (November 30th, 3:30 p.m.) you receive the reigning champion Bayer Leverkusen, an opponent who is currently shining with 26 goals. In comparison, the Berliners with only nine goals are offensive. In order to be able to exist against Leverkusen, the team's style of play urgently has to change how Rani Khedira made it clear in a media round.

"We have to appear more energetically", the defensive midfielder demands and criticizes that the Berliners often act too passively. Khedira observes that the team creates opportunities, but at the crucial moment the precision and assertiveness are missing. The training units work intensively on emphasizing. In his time at Union Berlin, Khedira has already proven that he was a decisive factor-so he scored important goals in the second half of the season, including the goal that ensured the place in the Champions League qualification, such as wikipedia reported.

a game full of challenges

The tasks for Union Berlin are huge. In order to keep up against the offensive of Bayer Leverkusen, it is essential that the storm is finally working again. This defensive setting should be changed to improve the skill level and at least take off the passivity. The team is challenged to go into the game with a completely new energy in order to leave the poor performance of the past few weeks. It remains to be seen whether Khedira and Co. can create this turnaround on Saturday and get the iron out of their downward spiral.
