Hertha BSC Faces Pressure to Deliver After Disappointing First Half of Season

Sporting director Benjamin Weber calls for improved focus, consistency, and reduced errors as the team prepares for the second half of the 2. Bundesliga campaign.

• Hertha BSC's sporting director, Benjamin Weber, expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance in the first 17 matches, citing unfulfilled potential and lack of successful home games.
• The team has earned only 22 points so far, which Weber considers insufficient given their capabilities and fan support.
• Weber outlined key areas for improvement during the upcoming training camp in Spain: maintaining focus for 90 minutes, eliminating individual mistakes, and avoiding conceding from set pieces in their own half.
• Injuries have significantly impacted the team's results, but several players are expected to return after the winter break, potentially strengthening the squad.
• Weber anticipates minimal transfer activity in January, focusing instead on maximizing the contributions of current players, including newcomers Luca Schuler and Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson.
