The arrival of a new coach disrupts certain habits, like those of Andrej Ilic. The Serbian, on loan from LOSC, made his first appearance in the colors of Union Berlin in the Bundesliga this season this Saturday.
The year 2025 and its share of beautiful resolutions, these concern Andrej Ilic (24 years old) at Union Berlin, where a new coach arrived during the winter break. Loaned across the Rhine by LOSC, Andrej Ilic was counting on this upheaval so that the cards, now reshuffled, would offer him the opportunity to seize his chance. The start of the year is already a success, having just experienced two consecutive appearances. The Serbian first benefited from around ten minutes in a friendly, it was last Sunday, then came into play in the Bundesliga this Saturday.
Trailing at the end of the first quarter of an hour (17′, Kratzig), the Berliners were reduced to ten before the break (37′). Far from being excited by the progress of the match, Steffen Baumgart made several changes in the second period, including the one between Jordan Siebatcheu, formerly of Stade Rennais, and Andrej Ilic (60′). The latter thus played his first 30 minutes in the Bundesliga this season during an opposition with Heidenheim.
Andrej Ilic was useful in his pivotal play, clean in duels and in deviation in the construction of the offensive game. However, he only touched around ten balls while his team conceded a second and final goal (83′) ten minutes from time for another defeat (0-2). Twelfth in the Bundesliga, Union Berlin has not won a match since October 20, making eleven consecutive matches without success in all competitions.
