Berlin (dpa) - Supervisory Board Jens Lehmann has called for a better team spirit and more appreciation for donors Lars Windhorst at Hertha BSC.
The former national goalkeeper sees the future of returnees as coach Pal Dardai especially with the recently weak team of the Berlin Bundesliga club.
“Under the old coach, whom I really appreciate, Bruno Labbadia, for some reason the players didn't develop as we all wished.
But under the new coach they have to do that now.
And if he doesn't manage that, at some point the next one will come again, that's for sure, ”Lehmann said on Sky TV.
A week ago, Dardai succeeded Labbadia and lost the first game 1: 3 against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Looking ahead, one must stick to the big goals.
«Berlin is the largest German city.
I still think the vision is good.
It's gotten a bit bumpy.
We have set ourselves the goal of playing in Europe next season, it will probably not work, but you still have to hold on to visions, ”said Lehmann about the situation at table 15.

Lehmann, who sits on the Hertha supervisory board for the sponsor, does not see Windhorst's role in the development of the capital club as being adequately appreciated.
"At Hertha it is a bit important to develop a team spirit that everyone knows there is an investor who has let everyone sleep well, and you have to show a little gratitude," said the 51-year-old.
Despite the recent miserable sporting development, Lehmann does not expect an end to Windhorst's commitment.
"I do not know that.
When I spoke to Lars Windhorst at the beginning, he said that he can imagine that it would be his companion for a lifetime, Hertha. "
So far, Windhorst has invested 274 million euros in the professional department.
Further payments of 100 million euros are due by the summer.
