Fischer after twelfth defeat: "I'm ready to fight"
Even after the twelfth consecutive defeat in a row, coach Urs Fischer is not thinking of resigning from 1. FC Union Berlin. "I don't have that feeling at the moment. I'm ready to fight," said the Swiss Fischer on ARD television after the 3-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Captain Christopher Trimmel also said: "He gives everything, he does everything, he tries everything. He talks to us a lot, is very direct, very clear. That's all he can do."
Club president Dirk Zingler had already unequivocally backed the Bundesliga club's coach before the match. The fans celebrated the 57-year-old Fischer before the game and the team after the match. "Great, it also describes the cohesion of Union. It's not just talked about, it's lived," said Fischer.
The defeat saw Union slip to 16th place in the relegation places. "We have said that we are in a relegation battle. The relegation battle is also a marathon, not a sprint," said Fischer. "Today I saw a team that is still running a marathon."
Despite the loss against Eintracht Frankfurt, 1st FC Union Berlin's coach Urs Fischer expressed his determination to continue, stating, "We're still in the Bundesliga, and I'm ready to fight." Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt clinched a valuable victory, securing their position in the German top-tier league.
