Berlin (dpa) - For coach Pal Dardai, Hertha BSC's chances in the relegation battle of the Bundesliga have not deteriorated significantly despite the success of the competition during their own corona quarantine.
«If we score four points, we are not in a relegation zone.
We mustn't let unrest persuade us.
We are the Berliners.
We are our circle, there is no hectic, ”said Dardai in a digital media talk on Monday.
The Berliners had slipped to 17th place in the table due to their two-week break, as 1. FC Cologne (6 points), Arminia Bielefeld (4) and Mainz 05 (6) were able to take points in the meantime.
Dardai himself, his assistant coach Admir Hamzagic and the professionals Dodi Lukebakio and Marvin Plattenhardt had tested positive for the corona virus.
Hertha can resume training together on Friday.
The first catch-up game at Mainz 05 is due next Monday.
«In Mainz we want to go from 0 to 100, but not in such a way that one breaks straight away.
We have six games left, "said Dardai.
Even with a defeat at the Rheinhessen, that does not mean "that we are relegated".

If the test result is negative, Dardai can leave his house on Wednesday.
He also feels the impatience of his players.
"Everyone is waiting to come out, everyone is ready to come to training," said the 45-year-old.
"At some point you get bored, you can not only watch football," reported Dardai.
