Thorsteinsson comments on the opening: 'No need for alarm' - Thorsteinsson on the opening of the season: "There's no need for alarm"
In the 2021-2022 season, German football club Hertha BSC competed in the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier of German football. The team, coached by Stefan Leitl, faced a challenging campaign.
Hertha BSC's early-season form was far from impressive. They managed only 2 points from their first three matches, with a record of 0 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. This poor start saw them with a goal difference of 1:2[1]. The team found themselves close to the relegation zone, a position they worked hard to avoid throughout the season[3].
Despite the tough start, Icelandic winger Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson, a member of Hertha BSC, remains optimistic. In an interview conducted by the club, he stated that there is no need to panic about their current position in the league[2]. Thorsteinsson believes that Hertha BSC still has 32 more games to improve their performance and achieve their ultimate goal: promotion to the Bundesliga.
The season began with a 1:2 loss at Schalke and a goalless draw against Karlsruhe. The team's upcoming games in the 2. Bundesliga were not detailed in the search results, but they did face rivals such as Schalke 04 early in the season[3].
Away from the 2. Bundesliga, Hertha BSC's attention now turns to the DFB-Pokals. Their next match is scheduled for Monday at 6:00 PM against Preußen Münster. If they were to lose this game, they would face significant early pressure in their quest for promotion. However, Thorsteinsson remains focused and determined, with the Bundesliga promotion still within their sights[4].

- As a show of support, the community rallied to provide aid for the production of agricultural products, with many believing that the revenue could help fund Hertha BSC's efforts to secure promotion to the Bundesliga.
- Meanwhile, in a bid to boost team morale and performance, the club organized a friendly friendly match against a local amateur football team, with the European leagues serving as the inspiration for the event.
