Unlimited Ice Availability Sparks Debate on Resource Management

In the recent match against Hannover 96, 16-year-old Kennet Eichhorn caught the eye of Hertha BSC coach Stefan Leitl with his impressive performance. The young midfielder, known for his maturity and strong defensive skills, made his first start of the season for the Berlin-based club in their home game against SC Paderborn on September 13.

Hertha Berlin, currently situated in the lower half of the table with only five points from five games, is in need of a boost. The team has drawn 0:0 in both their home games so far against Karlsruhe SC and SV Elversberg.

Coach Leitl, known for his tactical acumen and ability to navigate questions about his tactics and personnel, has shown a commitment to his principles. He does not adjust the team based on the opponent, a decision that could be tested as Linus Gechter is expected to return to the squad. Leitl faces a tactical decision, whether to revert to a four-man defense or replace Marton Dardai or Toni Leistner.

The coach's faith in Eichhorn is evident, as he suggested that the youngster could make his home debut in the starting lineup for the upcoming game against SC Paderborn. Leitl praised Eichhorn's involvement in offensive actions and individual performance, a testament to the young player's versatility.

The match, scheduled for Saturday at 13:00 CET, will be broadcast on Sky. In a bid to attract more families, Hertha BSC has announced that they will offer free ice cream and free entry for children under 13 years old for the game on World Children's Day.

As for Gechter's role, no specific details have been provided. However, Leitl emphasized that Hertha BSC is flexible in terms of formations, stating they don't strictly adhere to one basic formation. This flexibility could be key in navigating the challenging season ahead.
