Dardai Happy: This victory smells like work

Several numbers Languages ​​for the climber. The VfL Bochum at the end had a significant overweight at scorers (18: 5), corners (7: 2), ball possessions (67:33 percent), played passports (493: 254) and the dual ratio (56:44 percent). For Pal Dardai, that was more of a spell dominance. The opponent had no clear scoring, said the Hungarian on the day after the first win. That must decide every coach: Do I overcharge the side and flank 30 times against Boyata, strong and Torunarigha? Very brave. Every bouncing ball is a counterattack, and then a big room is there.

Dardai looked at the opponent's over long stretch Da Ballbesitz, where it does not hurt . His conclusion: 3: 1 Away is an outstanding result. I can not remember that Alex Schwolow was three times in one-to-one, was giant chaos and he had to save. They were shots about the stadium, flanks, at Why none was in the middle - and then we leached on baller convert and depth. Hertha's game did not always look good, but finally you have rooms . One of Dardais criticisms next to the self-drawn goal was that these spaces were too little used.

A new beginning within one and a half weeks - that was like the national team.

But with the implementation of the new system rehearsed in the country break and the attitude, the coach was extremely satisfied. This victory smells like work, Dardai explained. This is fantastic for a coach. The team had all variants of Fünferkette - 5-1-2-2, 5-2-1-2, 5-2-2-1 and in the final phase 5-4-1 - very well implemented: The team becomes Get praise for your work. This is the most important thing in our situation: Working. A new beginning within one and a half weeks - that was like the national team. That was worth it too. What we have practiced - Fünferkette, as you coached in the center, how You participate - we practiced.

The first victory after three defeats, the worst start since 1972/73, the feverish environment should be reassured and the emerging nervousness in the leadership sideways have switched down. The permanent realist Dardai but it was also on Monday a concern, performance and program of the first weeks. Hertha lost against the current league first (Wolfsburg / 1: 2), the second (Bayern / 0: 5) and the Cologne, which is under Steffen Baumgart Keck (1: 3).

Two new arrivals trump in Bochum especially

We did not fail when we are honest: Against Wolfsburg we did not understand why the points have flowed away, Dardai said. Against Cologne we played very well for 35 minutes, then we had tactically and disciplined players in the square and have left the points. The Bavarians have been seen: if the in Leipzig pure all the scorchances, another result comes out too. to hide here. We have our quality.

In Bochum, two new arrivals trumped specifically. SUAT SERDAR set with the first Bundesliga double pack in his 120th game the soft on victory, Joker Myziane Maolida made the lid on an intense game in a for Hertha critical phase with the third goal. If SUAT goes on, he can play again for the German national team, Dardai explained on Monday. It's not my thing, but you can recommend. The quality he has.

The coach refused, above all, that his team in the first season games too often closed team in Bochum significantly determined: We have played four outwards from five competitive games, giving away a game home (against Wolfsburg, d. Red.) And of them learned. This time we made tactical fouls, were more aggressive, have not been out of the opponent. We have learned a lot.

After the VfL Bochum on Friday night in the Olympic Stadium, this should also be felt the other newcomer. Again a work win Dardai demands against the SPVGG Greuther Fürth of his professionals and brakes coated expectations in a playful way: Nobody should expect us to go from 0 to 100. But if the team retains this mentality and as in Bochum 5000 meters More works than the opponent, the victories come automatically. His announcement for the rest of the calendar year: Those who have not worked are all gone. Until Christmas, it has to be worked here. After that, certainly too. The shine can wait.
