Union Berlin is like a team that has run out of gas, and is having difficulty showing its best performance in the 2023/24 season. In fact, we have seen this phenomenon in the previous season, when Union Berlin focused on other competitions, one of which was the Europa League. Their performance goes ups and downs, especially in the Bundesliga. So, they had to go down in ranking and were eventually overtaken by Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
this season, they should increase the amount of ammunition they have to bring in. because, Berlin plays for the Champions League. However, the opposite problem occurred, this team looked like a team that had lost its enthusiasm. The system built by Urs Fischer with his flagship pattern 5-4-1, or 3-5-2, doesn't seem to be effective in every match. Berlin was only recorded as being able to win 2 matches in the Bundesliga out of 12 matches, 1 draw and 9 defeats. in the Champions League group phase, they did not even win a match.
Well, as far as I have read, Urs Fischer actually resigned by reaching an agreement with the club management. and yep, naturally, with a series of such poor performances, the great coach realized that he was no longer competent to handle the team he was coaching. In the end, now Nenad Bjelica has replaced him. The group stage match is his debut match with Union Berlin, so let's watch and wait for the results of how this new coach handles Union Berlin.
Union Berlin was a better team last season but they've been less better this season from week after the season began till now, be it managerial, technical or general team issue, they ought to be doing better. Now they're categorized as the least teams in the league, and it's really not paying out for them.
Yesterday against Braga, they were able to maintain a draw which although was okay for the fact that they played away from home but at thesame time, they need an improvement in their performance, they need to pose more dangers to their opponents as well. Currently it's pretty much easy to predict the outcome of their games and it isn't supposed to be so. There has to be a change in all areas, there are numerous means to switching from poor to better and it should be implemented.
