From Wednesday the ball will roll once more at Hertha BSC. Like three years ago the blue and whites work under the Florida sun in the USA to finally score more points in the second half of the season. It is noticeable: The mega upheaval following the mega loss continues to advance with seven-league boots at Hertha BSC. Crazy blue and white world: After three years, only four professionals remain.
The football business has never been as fast-moving as it is today. And Hertha fans in particular feel that: since January 2020, hardly a stone has been left unturned in the blue and white team. Manager Michael Preetz and finance boss Ingo Schiller? Path! Long-term President Werner Gegenbauer? Path! 374 million investor Lars Windhorst? As good as gone! Five different head coaches? All away!
Hertha in the USA: Only four professionals from 2020 are still there

Ex-national coach Jürgen Klinsmann coached Hertha BSC three years ago. Just a few weeks following the trip to the USA, Klinsi gave up.
Even more blatant is the change in the squad, which is best illustrated by a Florida photo: Arne Maier, Rune Jarstein, Davie Selke, Vladimir Darida, Marius Wolf, Javairo Dilrosun, Jordan Torunarigha, Eduard Löwen? All long blue and white history – and the list might easily be extended.
Who is still there compared to the first trip to the USA? Four professionals: Maximilian Mittelstädt, Dodi Lukebakio, Peter Pekarik and Marton Dardai. Well, it would be five if Captain Marvin Plattenhardt didn’t have a US ban because of his missing corona vaccination.

Training under Florida’s palm trees: For most Hertha professionals, it is the first training camp in the USA.
Speaking of the USA: After Florida, the Hertha disaster took its course three years ago, when just six months following investor Windhorst got involved, the first cracks between the financier and the Hertha bosses became clear – and ex-coach Jürgen Klinsmann together with Preetz Hertha BSC made the transfer spending world champion. On a planet that just a few weeks later – no, not because of Klinsmann’s curious Facebook resignation, but rather because of the corona pandemic – should no longer be the same.
Manager Fredi Bobic and his armada of new employees now have to pay for the consequences of shopping and the associated salary excesses. Because personnel costs even continued to rise last year, the new Florida photo might also soon be a thing of the past. At least the mega upheaval announced by Bobic due to the Sparzwangs is far from over. Even the four remaining and Plattenhardt is also threatened with Hertha-Aus soon.
