Berlin derby: is Union Berlin or Hertha BSC number 1 in the capital? – Bundesliga

by time news

Hertha or Union – that is the question here.

Even before the derby, Berlin is discussing which club is really number 1 in Berlin – regardless of the result of the derby on Saturday (6.30 p.m.).

Sure: Union is better in the table, plays internationally. But Hertha has more Bundesliga years and is not considered a district club.

Who is really Berlin’s number 1?

Handball national player and Berlin-based Silvio Heinevetter (37): “For me Union is currently number 1, the question doesn’t really arise when you look at the results of the last two years. If you just look at the great fans and the stadium, Union is permanently number 1 for me. But of course Hertha has a huge project at the start too, with a Fredi Bobic I think Hertha can still make a difference. Since it’s a home game, Union wins, of course. “

World champion Thomas Häßler (55, coach BFC Preussen): “Both clubs are strong, both are my number 1! Why shouldn’t both clubs play a good role in the Bundesliga over the long term – there is nothing better than THE derby in the capital! My duels earlier with 1860 Munich against Bayern were also the highlights. Union is my favorite in this duel because they are ahead of Hertha in the table, do a good job and have a home game in front of a sold out hut. With these spectators in the back, it will be difficult for Hertha. I grant the victory to both teams, but because Hertha needs the points more urgently, Blue-White should win this time. “

Hertha-Investor Lars Windhorst (44): “My heart’s favorite is of course Hertha BSC. I keep my fingers crossed for you for victory. And with my commitment to the club, I will do everything to ensure that Hertha will be the undisputed number 1 in the city in the future. “

Benedetto Muzzicato (43), Viktoria 89 coach and ex-Union player: “Hertha has huge potential, has been active in the Bundesliga for a long time and the club has already shown that it can be successful. Union has again made an amazing development in recent years. There is not only a lot of passion behind this, but also humility. For the derby, I’ll bet on a 1: 1. “

Ex-Boxer Axel Schulz (53): “In terms of history, Hertha is number 1 because they simply play longer in the Bundesliga. The Köpenickers will become number 1 in the long run. They have a small stadium, but they really take the fans with them. “

Hertha legend Marcelinho (46): “Hertha is clearly number 1 in Berlin because the club has played well in the Bundesliga for a long time, Union was a bit further away and has only been at the top of the league for three seasons. Although Hertha plays away, I think the chances are good. Hertha wins the duel because the team has improved and found a lot in the last few games and is now well prepared. “

Cottbus trainer and ex-Hertha professional Claus-Dieter Wollitz (56): “Union is number 1. Because they embody what you should do when you ascended: passion, humility. Trainers Urs Fischer and Oliver Ruhnert do it exceptionally well. The players who get them always work – that’s incredible. And these players identify 1000 percent with the club. At Union, nobody goes crazy if they win five games in a row – and they don’t get nervous if they lose twice either. And Hertha? When you speak of ‘Big City Club’ you also need the player characters who set an example. And from my point of view they don’t do that. “

Moderator Gaby Papenburg (61): “At the moment I see Union as number 1, they are consistent and have found their rhythm. What matters is what happens at Hertha under Fredi Bobic. I have high hopes for him. I like trainer Pal Dardai. But I don’t know if he’s the right person to make Hertha a convincing number 1. “

Ex-Leverkusen manager Reiner Calmund (72): “Union played its way into the hearts of the fans – and not just in Berlin, but throughout Germany. They have a well-functioning troop, a well-rehearsed defensive bulwark in the back, Awoniyi lucky grasp in the front and Urs Fischer on the line. But Hertha is finally back, too, calm has returned. In the medium term, Hertha will be number 1 again in Berlin. “

Hans-Günter Becker (83), captain of the Tasmania Bundesliga team from 1965/66: “At the moment Union is clearly number 1. Also in terms of sympathy. It’s a closed team, the coach fits in with it. Something is developing there. I don’t see a real team or trend at Hertha. I also see Union ahead in the future. I do not think that Hertha will win at Union, but that if you are lucky you will get a point. “
