It reverberates loudly through Berlin. “Fisherman, fisherman, fisherman!” A city in a party mood. And the master builder of the little football miracle on the Spree? Urs Fischer (56), FCZ legend and now Bundesliga hero.
Once once more Fischer has led the Iron Union from Berlin to Europe. After the 4-1 win once morest Freiburg, international business can no longer be taken away from them. For the second time in a row.
Union has fourth smallest market value
“Build a monument to Urs Fischer!” now demands the “Berliner Kurier”. And he wants even more: “Turn the Spree into a whitewater river so that he can pursue his hobby of fly fishing.”
Clearly: What Fischer does in Berlin is second to none. The team that only has the fourth lowest team market value in the Bundesliga is involved with the big ones. Leaves top clubs like Gladbach, Frankfurt or Wolfsburg far behind.
“It’s unbelievable what we, as a small association, Union Berlin achieve year following year. That is not a matter of course », knows midfielder Grischa Prömel (27).
And Fischer is also enthusiastic: “It’s amazing what the boys have achieved once once more. What can I say? I can’t pay more than one compliment!”
Fischer is seen as an alternative to the laptop trainers that have become increasingly popular in football in the recent past. He is a level-headed worker, humane, calm. Popular. Successful.
Union at least in the Conference League
Despite important departures in winter (Marvin Friedrich, Max Kruse), Fischer knew how to develop his players. He gave young and new players confidence, challenged them and encouraged them.
“It’s extraordinary what we’re doing there,” puts defender Christopher Trimmel (35) in a nutshell.
The fans see it that way too. “FC Union, international,” rang out following the final whistle from the away block in Freiburg. (mum)
