Union is scratching again at the international places. Even the Champions League is within reach.
Defender Niko Gießelmann (30): “That would be a dream. But I believe it will remain a dream. It is too exaggerated to talk about the Champions League. We want to stay in all competitions as long as possible and keep playing in the Bundesliga. “
Overall, Gießelmann Union sees it on the right track: “I don’t think we’re at the limit. We are very well positioned in terms of discipline and organization. We don’t allow much. Still, we still have a lot of potential with the ball. We play counter-situations badly. “
Gießelmann is in top form. He was in the starting line-up in all eleven games. With 969 minutes of play, he has long since more than doubled the overall record of the previous year (421 minutes in 13 missions). With three goals and two assists, his goal rate is better than ever.
He currently has more league goals than Max Kruse (33, 1 hit). The winger on the left says: “I suspect it is still spinning. But I will try to stand in front of him as long as possible. Despite the English weeks, I have no problems. I have confidence. “
Gießelmann benefits from his more offensive orientation under coach Urs Fischer (55). Born in Hanover on his route: “We often have breakthroughs outside of the box and should be an offensive player as an outside player.”
That is what makes Gießelmann strong so far. So strong that Union’s path leads back to Europe?
