Relegation playoff against Fortuna Düsseldorf

5/10/2012

After a terrible rückrunde Hertha have still managed (just) to avoid automatic relegation in the 2011/12 Bundesliga season. 

They play the first leg of the relegation playoffs tonight at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.  Sadly I am not able to be there but it is being broadcast on “free to air” (FTA) German TV tonight.  That’s something at least.  It sounds like there is going to be a very good crowd there and I hope the give the team a fantastic lift.

Sad news from the Hoffenheim match about our 20 year old striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga picked up damage to his ACL after an awkward fall.  Hopefully he will recover faster that the doctors have said.

I gather Düsseldorf have been creating chances in 2. Bundesliga and have scored 25 goals from set pieces. Hertha would do well to maintain their discipline and organisation whilst still respond to moves made by the Düsseldorf players.  There have been too many cases during this year’s rückrunde of Hertha’s defense standing roughly in the right place but, not staying with the opposition and then ending up watching the ball fly in the net.

Hertha did enjoy the result against Hoffenheim so I hope they will “have their tails up” now and will finish the job for this season.  They have been a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde team this rückrunde, mostly Mr Hyde unfortunately.  Let’s hope this lift brings the good Doctor to the fore and allow them to play in the way we know they can.  They were mid table in the middle of the hinrunde and looking comfortable. It’s worth remembering they beat Borussia Dortmund and not many teams have done that this season!!

I am drinking out of my Hertha mug, and I have my Hertha shirt at the ready and looking forward to the match.  Good luck to the team and I hope they do us proud!
