Baumgart on Kniat: "If he calls my wife..." - Union Berlin Seeks Redemption in DFB-Pokal Against Arminia Bielefeld
Union Berlin is eager to redeem themselves in the DFB-Pokal after a disappointing 0-2 loss to Arminia Bielefeld last season. Coach Steffen Baumgart and his team are determined to turn the tables this time around. Meanwhile, Union Berlin's Andrej Ilić has recovered from illness and is ready to play a part in the revenge mission.
Baumgart and Arminia Bielefeld's trainer Mitch Kniat share a history together, having worked at Paderborn for four years. Despite the friendly relationship, Baumgart joked about Kniat potentially calling his wife for logistics, not football tactics, ahead of the match. Kniat, on the other hand, praised Baumgart as a reliable role model and a source of valuable information about Union Berlin.
Ilić's return from illness is a boost for Union Berlin. The defender was forced off during their recent match against Bremen but has now recovered and is ready to help his team secure a victory against Bielefeld.
With Ilić back in the lineup and Baumgart's strategic mind at the helm, Union Berlin is poised to avenge last season's cup exit. The team is focused on delivering a strong performance and moving forward in the competition. Meanwhile, the friendly rivalry between Baumgart and Kniat adds an interesting dynamic to the match.
