Berlin / Stuttgart (dpa) - Urs Fischer was already amused by the question.
He is doing well, said the coach of 1. FC Union Berlin.
"Why should I feel bad?" Added the Swiss after the 2-2 win in the Bundesliga at VfB Stuttgart.
Even the two late goals conceded by Sasa Kalajdzic (85th / 90th minute) could not upset Fischer.
"It's another point that helps us," was the conclusion of the Union coach.
The questions to Fischer's Hertha colleague Bruno Labbadia were at the same time more unpleasant late on Tuesday evening.
It was also about a draw - but one of the particularly dreary kind. 0-0 against relegation candidate Mainz 05. With zero shots on the goal of Rheinhessen.
"We would have loved to have won the game," stated Labbadia.
He could also have said that this is a point that doesn't really help Hertha.
One thing is certain after the twelfth game day and the next two Berlin draws: Union will also be after the final 2020 league game against Borussia Dortmund on Friday (8.30 p.m. / DAZN) in the An der Alten Försterei stadium and the Hertha guest game on Sunday (3.30 p.m.) / Sky) lead the city ranking at SC Freiburg.
At Christmas and New Year's Eve, the iron guys are definitely ahead of the blue-whites - despite the 1: 3 derby defeat, which seemed to upset the football mood in the capital at the beginning of the month.

Since Hertha did not score against extremely defensively oriented Mainz, Union remained five points ahead of their big city rivals.
The goals of Marvin Friedrich (4th minute) and Taiwo Awoniyi (77th) in the guest appearance in the Ländle would have been even more possible for the Köpenicker.
«If you lead 2-0, you want to take three points.
We are therefore disappointed, "said Friedrich.
Hertha just didn't want to take a tour.
For the first time since 2015 there was a game in the Bundesliga without any shot on goal.
At that time too, Hertha was involved against Hoffenheim.
Labbadia couldn't get much out of the boredom kick either.
"The entertainment value comes from scoring opportunities," said the ex-striker.
But he is not afraid of a change in mood.
"We can do better," he said.
