Let's Crank Up the Pressure, Hertha: Show 'Em What You're Made of Against Münster
Demands Strength in the Face of Muenster: Hertha's Leitl's Plea - Mentality advocated by Herthas Leitl against Münster called for
Hey there, footy fans! The lads at Hertha BSC are firing on all cylinders, aiming to wrap up the current season on a high note before they dive into the next. "We're after a monstrous finish, not just a smidgen. For us, it's all about hitting the 49-point mark, gaining respect, and keeping the good vibes rolling," said coach Stefan Leitl ahead of the showdown against Preußen Münster on Friday (6:30 PM/Sky).
Hertha has been unstoppable in their last eight outings. With three more wins on the horizon, Leitl's goal is to hit that magic number of 49 points, bettering last season's total[1]. After the Westphalian clash, Hertha will square off against Hannover 96, a team Leitl coached until the end of last year.
With defensive powerhouse Toni Leistner serving a one-game ban in Münster, another stalwart will have to step up to the plate. Leitl wants to head into the offseason with a ten-game unbeaten streak in the bag, carrying the momentum built from recent weeks into the new season[2]. Before that, Leitl wants to secure points against Münster, who managed an emphatic 5:0 victory on the road against promotion hopefuls 1. FC Magdeburg last Friday following their coaching change[3].
"Naturally, a coaching change can shake things up, and Münster needs points to stay afloat," said Leitl about the 16th-placed team. The seasoned coach remains positive about his squad, "We need to stay focused on ourselves and do what we do best."
But Leitl's task won't be easy, having to make do without 10 players, including the suspended Toni Leistner[4]. Leitl is already mulling over his options and has tested out potential solutions during practice.
