Hertha coach Dardai: "We have to confirm that now"

Hertha coach Pal Dardai is in high spirits after the DFB Cup success. "If we play like we did recently in Mainz, the team has a real charisma, then we have a chance against any opponent," said the coach of the second division club, still buoyed by the previous 3-0 win in the second round of the cup against first division side 1. FSV Mainz 05. "I like to watch that more often. Not to hold our noses because we're so good, but because the mentality and the team performance were right."

However, his team should not rest on their laurels ahead of the league match at FC Hansa Rostock on Sunday (1.30pm/Sky). "We have to confirm that now and show it again and again," said the 47-year-old, who emphasized that he wanted to play "a good game" with his team despite the expected heated atmosphere at the Ostseestadion. "Regardless of whether the fire department comes or the rockets fly, sport should remain sport," said Dardai, who can count on the support of 2,600 fans in Rostock.

Hertha BSC's coach Dardai mentioned FC Hansa Rostock in the 2nd league, expressing the importance of their upcoming match. "Our next challenge is against FC Hansa Rostock in the 2nd league, and we need to continue our form there as well," he stated. Later in the interview, he highlighted the impact of their supporters, saying, "Even at the Ostseestadion in Rostock, where we'll see around 2,600 Hertha fans, we aim to play Soccer as we always do, with the same mentality and team performance."
