Bielefeld (AP) - The zero was finally held again, but there is a lot to improve in the attack department: Arminia Bielefeld's new soccer coach Frank Kramer said after the 0-0 win against Union Berlin that there was work to be done.

More callousness is needed.

"We have to use the few situations that you get in the Bundesliga much better so that we can get into good final situations more often," said the coach after his solid Arminia debut on Sunday evening.

Overall, the team on the offensive must "become even clearer".

In the final phase of the home game against the seventh in the table, his professionals would have made too little of ball wins.

"We just have to make more of it if you want to win the game."

The Ostwestfalen have been waiting for a goal for three compulsory games and have only managed 18 goals in the 23 league appearances so far - only Schalke have scored even less.

The last time the newcomer won in mid-January, the lead over a direct relegation place is only one point.

Nevertheless, Coach Kramer exuded confidence.

After the newcomer had to accept a total of 17 goals in the five league games, the successor to Uwe Neuhaus saw the 0-0 as an important basis for more penetration.

"That gives the team security for the offensive actions that are necessary to bring in victories."

However, the East Westphalia were also lucky against the "Iron", the guests gave up their few good opportunities quite miserably.

The attack by Berlin is currently lacking its accuracy, in the second half of the season only four goals get.

Arminia's latest program was also extremely demanding, which puts the recent weak results into perspective.

The numerous goals conceded in the five games before the coaching change were poured into the Bielefeld team from Wolfsburg, Bayern and BVB, among others.

The team did not seem desolate.

After the 0: 3 in Dortmund last weekend, the promotion coach Neuhaus, popular with many Arminia fans, had to leave, which numerous supporters strongly criticize.

If the game against Union wasn't a dream debut for Kramer, it wasn't a false start either.

After the 0: 5 clap in the first leg, the second encounter of the season against the Köpenicker was equalized.

Which of the two teams is concerned about relegation could not be seen.

Arminias Sergio Córdova could have scored a goal early on but missed the great opportunity.

And the new coach was extremely satisfied with the commitment of his players.

«The team worked hard.

That is the basis. "

This is exactly what Arminia has to do on Wednesday when the game to catch up against Werder Bremen is due.
