Union coach Steffen Baumgart can understand the traditional fan protest of the Berlin supporters at the start of the Bundesliga match against RB Leipzig. "I think everyone now knows what Union Berlin's attitude to Rasenball Leipzig is. I still think it's good, or I still think that everyone should be able to express themselves clearly or not express themselves at the moment," said Baumgart at the press conference of the Iron Ferns.
On Friday (20:30/Sky), the Union fans are also planning to remain silent for the first quarter of an hour of the Bundesliga match at the Stadion an der Alten Försterei against the club from Saxony. They want to express their dislike of the RB model. "I thought it was about soccer, but then it's also about things around it," said Baumgart.
The Union coach, however, wanted to focus on sporting matters ahead of the important match after four defeats. "Keeping up won't be enough, but it's about bringing the strengths we really have onto the pitch and we have a lot of them," said Baumgart.
