Union Berlin - VfL Bochum

Beside top promotion candidates Kaiserslautern, Köln and Düsseldorf expect many experts Union Berlin as one of these candidates as well. They have a very good squad and they strength it again this season. Their stadium is ready and a lot of support are expected in the next weeks above all if the results are good and the euphoria continues like in their friendlies where they got a lot of good results. One of these experts was Peter Neururer who is coach from Bochum and he never got any point there. This he wants to change today but he said it already that this can be a very hard task.

Union Coach Neuhaus had a lot to do to make things easier and let the pressure not get to high. It is very hard at the moment because all around the club a in an absolutley hype with Union. Hopefully the players can react with all the big expectations. But the team looks more relaxed and want to start better as last season where they had a lot of problems to beginning. Some of their new guys are already set for starting lineup and Neuhaus counts on defender Eggimann, midfielder Kreilach, Köhler and striker Brandy. He has also some weapons on bench and can bring some additional what makes it much easier this seasosn. So no worries if one of the guys are not on his best day. The only missing they have is Jopek who is injured but in offensiv they have a lot.

Let’s see what Bochum is able to bring this season above all after some of their imp. players left the club. It is hard for Neururer but he must do a go job if he wants to hold his team away from danger zone where they stand last season for long time. The biggest problem they have is scoring goals. Not one of his stikers could convince in friendlies so Sukuta Pasu, Aydin and so on must do a better job and get better in form. The system he wants to choose is more a 4-3-3 and make some pressure over the wings with Tasaka and new signing Cwielong. Absolutely new is their midfield with Tiffert, Jungwirth and Latzka who should replace Rzatkowski, Goretzka and Kramer. For defensive row it looks like that he can count on the same as last year, only Bastians as back wing is new. So it can be that Bochum needs some time to be on the level and know each other better above all their midfield.
