The criticism of the former Hertha coach Dardai is growing. In the past few days, it was clear to the Berliners that the team couldn’t do anything with the Hungarian’s style in the end. Now manager Bobic also commented.
Sport manager Fredi Bobic has settled with the conditions at Bundesliga club Hertha BSC at the beginning of his term of office in the summer. “In my opinion, relegation was celebrated too loudly,” said the 50-year-old in an interview with the club’s own TV, “the duty was done, but you don’t have to have the big party.” Among other things, the then coach Pal Dardai had an interview celebrated the rescue with a big cigar with the ZDF “sports studio”.
Even in the days of Eintracht Frankfurt, the manager was not at all impressed by the “passive football” practiced by Berliners for years. “My feeling was that we had to do something different. Pal did a lot for Hertha, but we couldn’t ignore the development of the team and the players, ”said Bobic, explaining the move from Dardai to Tayfun Korkut at the end of November.
Serdar’s praise for Korkut made Dardai look bad
About a week ago, Hertha had drawn a draw in Stuttgart after Korkut’s appeal and then celebrated a 2-0 win against Arminia Bielefeld, Dardai did not get off well. In any case, the praise for the new coach turned into a settlement with the old one. “Since the first training session, we’ve been practicing playing the ball out from behind, no matter how tight it is. It’s more fun to work out the chances, ”said midfielder Suat Serdar about the new style of play that Korkut had practiced after his debut as Hertha coach.
Despite the turbulent first year, Bobic has meanwhile not regretted the move from the Main to the Spree. “I wanted to have exactly such a task and I was looking for myself: What is the most exciting thing there is in European football,” said Bobic, whose return to Hertha, for which he himself stormed between 2003 and 2005, was not in his “future plan provided “was:” I could have looked for something nice. “
