The problem are the new players. Union Berlin had previously brought in unknown players. Or well-known players who have not been in the A-Team at the respective club for a long time. They have slowly integrated these players into the team and built them up. With the purchase of Gosens and Fofana, they have broken with this philosophy. They were allowed to play straight away and the players who had always played last season sat suddenly on the bench. That brought turbulence into the entire team. If there is then a lack of success, the first cracks appear in a team-unit that has not grown together.
But now we will see a new coach who will be able to deal with that.
Irony with Union Berlin performance in this season and have dropped to bottom standings place after 9 loss of 11 matches with two winning matches, regarding with Union Berlin achievement last season success finish on UEFA Champion League spot standings. I don't think problem with new players signed because they have most experienced player arrived there like Leonardo Bonucci and Robin Gosens, still not late for Union return to top position depend on 23 matches left and not close to finish on UEFA Champion League spot place or realistic their achievement this season with Europe League spot.
But unbelievable if Union Berlin have dropped from Bundesliga competition such as their result more good progress years by years started with finish on UEFA Conference League to UEFA Europe League before last season with top fourth standings position finish. Any magician performance for Union Berlin after international break out and return to their top performance?
