Comment on Hertha-Eklat: An act of presumption

A sold for the first time since 26 months Olympic Stadium, great choreographies, unconditional support - so it was. And so it could have stayed. But it did not stay. After the 1: 4-Schmach against the City Trival Union, some Hertha ultras stepped to the ultimate in love withdrawal. They called on the Hertha professionals to take off their jerseys and to take before the East curve because they - that was the message - it would not be worth wearing these Jerseys.

Some players made the request episode, Maximilian Mittelstädt, too, also Marton Dardai, Marcel Lotka and Linus Gechter. The fact that the young professionals in this at least temporarily threatening situation were at the front, while about Captain Dedryck Boyata went quickly towards the cabin, says a lot about a team that is not after the kick-off and not after the kick-off. Closeness; Despite who sparks his own fighting force; Leaders who are also in strong counterwind and do not reverse or buckle - all this is in vain at Hertha BSC.

Some leads on, as if the club - and football is equal to it

And yet, with all the traceable hassles of the Ultras, which has been back in Leverkusen - Hertha since the game in Leverkusen - Hertha has been back in the stadium: Since a border was exceeded. As in the march on the training place in January during the non-public final training in front of the Bayern game, when about 70 Ultras fingered the professionals verbally hard and brought them unmistakable to them: "You tear them at the belt now, otherwise we ignite the next stage."

On Saturday night they lit the next stage. You have your team who does not go after stopping after stopping, so no favor. And above all, they have to bear the young players, some of which need more responsibility together in this remarkable squad, as they should be at their age, an additional backpack for the upcoming key games.

Many fans stand with every fiber of their body for this club. For some professionals you have doubts. Nevertheless, the action was on Saturday night an act of presumption. Some in the curve leads on, as if the club and football are equal to him.

Hertha's team shows on the place for weeks, rather months too little courage. You're afraid of your fear now, quite sure one thing does not cause: that you will find the mental strength you will need in the coming weeks.
