In black ascent T shirts with the signature „citizen of Berlin master – union Zwee “celebrated the U23 of the 1st FC union Berlin after the Abpfiff interlocutory decision-ends 3:1 – success with the Adlershofer BC with beer showers and joy singing the premature ascent into the upper league.
The omitted celebration tendency also president attended Dirk Zingler as a spectator, which congratulated to the active one around coach Theo Grieß personally to the ascent. Coach Theo Grieß speaks about offence, future and the value of accurate Stürmer. Theo, first of all congratulations on the ascent into the upper league. You your success on Saturday still according to rank celebrated? Theo Grieß: Thank you, naturally we took after the play or other beverage to us and one can probably say that the night was shorter than usual. But that had also really earned itself the crew, in addition it is to be sat beautifully also times in another framework leg other and exchanged. Are you retrospectively content with the process of the season? Theo Grieß: The question is interesting, because I actually took the goal in inspection, which we had imposed upon ourselves the season ago two days ago again. And it is almost congruently in such a way come as we before planned.
The crew realized the ascent, which the crucial was natural – however not only. A goal was to be made possible for also young players the leap into the professional range and by the example Marcel Hegert and Christopher Quiring can this project as successfully converted be designated. Nachrücker from the junior range, also talentierte, we knew to the man range would drive near and into the play enterprise of the U23 effectively to build. For my terms this season was altogether extremely successful. In the last year you in the Berlin league also long time a good role played, with the ascent became it at the end however nothing. Which levers were set in motion? Theo Grieß: First one must say that we obtained a very good result also in the last year with a third place in the Berlin league. Above all if one does not include the boundary conditions of the last yearly also into the evaluation were it a so bad year. But there were nevertheless differences. In order to call only two examples, here completely clearly the Konstanz of the training participation must be called. It was important that we created it to be able to develop by a certain number of players in the training units match near training scenarios. By the expansion of the cadre of 13 to 20 players, we could compensate also into the width losses better than in the previous year. Also to mention I would like the repeated improvement of co-operation with the Flatow high school. Here it was to be improved us possible in the obligation to vote units football the quality of contents of these training meetings further. Since many of my players are pupils at this school, we had additional training units under the line, from which we could profit directly. Did you have doubts at any time times that it could not fold in this year with the ascent? Theo Grieß: I had these doubts really. One becomes already jerky, if key players fail and a large gap left. Exactly that passed us in the back round. In the defense to date Stefan Gill played a strong season and also Benjamin white was with six gates at the piece in Topform. Both were stepped us at a conceivably bad time by the place „“. Also the obstinacy of Viktoria contributed by sections to a certain skepticism. Those used our weak phase after the winter break and came us in the meantime dangerously close. The third aspect surely is that with completion of the secondary league season also the resort to the professionals was only limited possible. The boys have even a long season in the legs, why the regeneration plays an important role here. At the end I am very happy over it like it for us came. Are players how important such as Kiyan Soltanpour, which have large portion of the success of the crew with so far 20 gates again and again? Theo Grieß: Stürmer the gates to shoot can are immensely important for a successful crew, because its gates affect the result always completely directly.
If I say now the fact that I would have expected myself still more hit of Kiyan Soltanpour is to be understood that not wrongly. 20 hits – that is already a tidy house number, but Kiyan is still evolved in its recent age. We have still three plays, in which he can remove its balance further. With all Lobhudelei it is however to be noted that perhaps individual players out-sting in or other situation, but we in puncto team spirit and co-operation in this season perhaps a crucial advantage over the other crews had. The competition in the upper league is strongly, partly occupied with former professionals. Will the crew be competitive in the current constellation in the coming season, or does give it there still to needs for action? Theo Grieß: It will give changes in each case. For the end of the season is definitely left us Franz fit-chew. Beyond that run discussions with Adrijan Antunovic, which will only decide after the end of the back round whether he remains with us or decides for another option. We held open conversations and will have to now be waiting. It is eminently important that we can convince an experienced Stürmer with potential of our concept. In addition, we have a good stand together, must note that the crews of the upper league have players in its rows, which have a strong Physis. There you do not get anything given, to it my players to accustom will have yourself. Where do you see strengths and where weaknesses of current occupation? Theo Grieß: About some weaknesses I already spoke. To us other per cent point, the moreover one is missing has you in the upper league with stood soccer players to already do within the range of the Physis still or. Some have within the professional range their experiences collected, there from everyone hard to be worked will have in the next year. A central strength of my crew is the long time, which plays it with one another in at least similar composition football. We have some players already for several years with each other, sowas become naturally apparent. From it a further strength results, i.e. our liquid combination play. There could keep up in the Berlin league as well as none with us. In addition it comes that we are able to go over the complete 90 minutes a madly fast speed. We will see, to what extent this quality in the upper league makes us possible further advantages. I am however in good spirits that if we throw our possibilities into the scale pan, we also a league more highly to play can. To which opponents do you now already completely particularly look forward? Theo Grieß: For me completely personally it gives there two crews. Tennis Borussia will become because of the security situation a Stadionspiel. These plays are a large motivation and can help itself the important points even against stronger opponents to collect. That there is this effect, one could see very good in the portion against Viktoria.
If 1,200 people cry you forward, then that sets forces freely those the difference to constitute can. Not too forgotten the argument of the upper league is absolutely without question. If the first crew from high beautiful living will become against our U23 start, it for many everything else as a normal upper league play. But all the same against whom we play, the crew fought extremely hard for the ascent. We look forward to this challenge and can now already hardly expect it finally to loose-add. Theo, thank you for your answers and much success for the coming tasks.
