Luthe! : 1. FC Union Berlin supports Keeper to Europe

From the Mascot Knight Keule there was a friendly hug, the fans called loudly his name.

Luthe, Luthe, Luthe, it lured by the Olympic Stadium. One would have my can, Andreas Luthe would have helped Union Berlin just to a major victory - but the opposite was the case. The fatal slip-up of the otherwise reliable final man was a sticking point for the unnecessary 1: 2 (1: 1) defeat in the highly brisant European Cup game against Feyenoord Rotterdam. With its head lowered, Luthe stood in front of the pendants after the final whistle.

Who wants to understand the sometimes unusual football orbit from Union, who only had to look closely, at this pits slipshot evening in the Olympic Stadium, where according to the police, at least in the hours immediately after the game there was no further incidents with violent fans from the Netherlands.

Allegations to the misfortune rabbit?

No. Instead, encouragement, encouragement and, above all, work-up a defeat that further reduces the opportunities for a hibernation in the Conference League - and the international naivety of the Ironed open. Football is an error game. That was a mistake too much. That has turned the game, was the right sober conclusion of Union coach Urs Fischer. Build Luthe again? Not necessary. How to work up the game? Secure.

For more than the slip-up Luthes in front of the Feyenoord victorator by Cyriel Dessers (72 minutes), the coach wormed the many awarded opportunities and the two planes against scorer Christopher Trimmel and Cedric Teuchert in the final phase. There is certainly one or the other to talk, said Fischer - before the next game already on Sunday (17:30 pm / Dazn) in the Football Bundesliga at the 1st FC Cologne.

Long-term damage caused by the moral bumps do not fear at Union. I m not worried that something is happening in the team or broken, said defensive chief Robin Knoche.

In the Conference League is now a lot of clearer. Realistic opportunities on a progress without big computer eggs is available in group E for the table deadline only with two wins at Maccabi Haifa (25 November) and against Slavia Prague (December 9). You need two victories, and then we look, as it says, said Fischer.
