" The professionals were "light awake", "important is that we bring the performance on Saturday". Bobic also found the players under the new coaching team "very artist, very attentive".
It is important to "show this emotionality also in the game" after "the last home game (1: 4 against Frankfurt, d. Red.) Created completely in the wrong direction." The Hertha squad underwear Magath and Foteringham a lightning analysis, the first judgment of the co-trainer sounded confident: "We have a good mix of experienced and young players. I am convinced that we can do it."
In a season that is peppered with the league of league with sporty and human beings, Magaths Corona Disease is the next chapter. "Felix has called me very quickly when he had suspected," Bobic said.

Bobic said on Friday in a touch of fatalism: "I'm glad the office stands. I thought, today a comet comes down and that will take exactly the office. It's already so that we're taking a lot." The Thursday was "a long day", "I really had the feeling: Do you want Corona, come to Berlin."

That no one beats, but all say, Come on - now right now. " Foteringham, so much is after its first days in Berlin, this attitude lives. As a player, he was trained - child of a workers' family - at Celtic Glasgow, under Magath he played in 2014 at FC Fulham in the English Championship. At that time, he met Magath's training content meticulously.
The desire to become trainer matured early. Now Foteringham arrived on the big stage, at least on Saturday a lot to turn around him.

It's about what the guys do in the place."
