Union Berlin in the downward trend: Christmas frustration instead of football!

Christmas time at the 1st FC Union Berlin ensures a cloudy mood. After eight winless league games and an early cup against Bielefeld, the iron is not only under pressure on the pitch, but also coach Bo Svensson could soon be on the brink. At the end of the year, the Berliners lost 1: 4 against Werder Bremen. In the guest block, the Ultras set a sign of hope before the game and presented a banner with the motto "for joy in football". But the game itself experienced a quick turn of joy to frustration, as Berlin Live reported.

difficult times for coach Svensson

The last results are unsatisfactory for Svensson. Sports Managing Director Horst Heldt avoided after the game to make a clear position on the future of the coach, and only said: "I have to let it sink now." The team weaknesses become clear, because despite a solid defensive, the offensive is extremely weak; Attacker Jordan Siebatcheu was not able to score a single goal in the entire first half of the season, which causes great concern. The fans expressed their resentment after the game on the fence and demanded a clear reaction from the players, such as Sportschau reported.

The next few months could be crucial for Union Berlin. The second half of the season is just around the corner and after the weak annual financial statements, both team and coach have to be used to initiate a turn. A selective success in the new year is essential, otherwise Svensson, who relies on a change within the team, could soon be history in the Köpenicker stadium. Those responsible agree: "We have to develop things again with all consequences in training," Rani Khedira demands, while the search for a more efficient offensive player has to continue.
