Augsburg (AP) - The Augsburg coach Heiko Herrlich (49) expressed his hope for Bundesliga games in front of many fans shortly before the start of the new football year.

“I hope that we can get the pandemic under control, that the vaccinations work and that at some point we will be able to watch football matches again in a full stadium without having to worry.

I know that is still a long way off, but I have hope, ”said Herrlich in an interview with the“ Augsburger Allgemeine ”(Thursday).

Herrlich has been the coach of the Bundesliga soccer team since March.

«So far I've only seen the game against Borussia Dortmund with spectators here in Augsburg.

The 6,000 fans felt like a full stadium.

You don't want to get used to the situation without fans, ”said the former international striker.

Herrlich hopes for more power in the attack in the future in the eleventh place.

“We are working to ensure that we get more penetration in the offensive area without giving up stability on the defensive.

I hope that Florian Niederlechner, for example, can build on his performance in 2019.

2020 was a rather disappointing year for him, ”said Herrlich before the kick-off at 1. FC Köln on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).

“I also wish that our ailing players like Alfred Finnbogason, Fredrik Jensen or Noah Sarenren Bazee can fix their injury-related problems.

André Hahn was also absent recently because of Corona.

I also hope that things will go well. "
