For coach Bo Svensson, the away game in Bremen (Saturday, December 21st) is of immense importance! After eight games without a win, a threesome before the winter break would be important for Union Berlin. However, Svensson had to pull the ripcord in many ways before departure.
Because of Kevin Vogt's fifth yellow card, he will have to do without his defensive star and rebuild the defense. “Kevin is not allowed to play,” the coach explained during the week. “But we can replace him!”
Union has to do without defense star Kevin Vogt
At the press conference before the away game, Bo Svensson never tired of mentioning how important this game is for Union Berlin. “It's more difficult than in the first eight games, when we only lost once – in the 96th minute in Gladbach. Then the sun shines. Everything is great,” says Svensson. “Everyone can pat someone else on the back.”

Obviously, the Unioners are now in a different phase. So that the players don't worry too much, he wants to concentrate on the positive aspects of the last few weeks and build on them: “I think the team is doing well. We try to remain constructive and not argue for long.”

Regarding the loss of his defensive star Kevin Vogt, the coach recalled the 2-3 defeat in Stuttgart. Back then, too, Union had to do without the veteran. Apparently Svensson would like to compensate for the loss this time with the young Austrian Leopold Querfeld: “Leo did very well for me over long stretches of the game,” said coach Svensson. Otherwise he would probably have to change the team and adapt the system.
