Berlin (dpa) - With a success against Arminia Bielefeld, Hertha BSC coach Bruno Labbadia wants to consolidate the development of his team.
"We're on our way," said the Hertha coach on Wednesday during a digital media round on Wednesday.
"The path also contains a dent every now and then," emphasized the 54-year-old when asked about the weak conclusion before the winter break.
The 1: 4 lost game in Freiburg and the goalless draw against Mainz 05 ruined the previously good impression.
For the New Year, the downward deflections should be a little smaller and the upward deflections larger.
"We want to pick up where we left off against Schalke," said Labbadia.
To ensure that this also succeeds on Sunday (6 p.m. / Sky) on the Bielefelder Alm, Labbadia swears his team on the climber.
"Arminia has achieved very close results against good teams."
The seventh-placed Borussia Mönchengladbach only narrowly won against Bielefeld last Saturday, said the Hertha coach.

Labbadia left it open on Wednesday whether Dedryck Boyata could play against Bielefeld again.
The captain had already missed the 3-0 win against Schalke due to a foot injury.
"We have to be a bit careful," said the Hertha coach.
Labbadia is also acting cautiously at Santiago Ascacibar.
The long-time injured Argentinian midfielder returned to team training on Wednesday, with Mathew Leckie training individually.
