After the cup knockout against the intrepid coaching colleague Steffen Baumgart, Urs Fischer found unusually clear words.

"The first half was underground from us," complained the coach of 1. FC Union Berlin after the 2: 3 in the second cup round against Baumgart's second division club SC Paderborn.

The first half of his Iron had made the Swiss perplexed and obviously angry.

“If you're not on the field for one half, you won't win a game.

We missed everything that distinguished us, ”complained Fischer.

If you overslept 45 minutes, you shouldn't be surprised if you're not lucky enough to catch up, stated the 54-year-old.

“We weren't consistent.

So we didn't deserve it either, ”admitted goal scorer Grischa Prömel.

And yet the Berliners had bad luck with the unsuccessful debut of goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Shortly before the final whistle, another sharp cross flew into the Paderborn penalty area.

Taiwo Awoniyi held out his foot, but the striker only hit the post.

Seconds later, the final whistle came.

So is the good Christmas mood over with the Iron?

Did the cheering mood after the next Bundesliga coup with the 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund only last a short time?

Not at all.

Despite all the unease about the missed round of 16 chance, Fischer did not want to draw his annual balance sheet in shades of gray after remaining in class and storming sixth place in the football upper house.

"Switch off for three or four days"

“It becomes a bit cloudy at the end.

Even with a distance it is still a very successful year 2020, ”said Fischer.

And: there is not enough time to talk about what has happened.

“It's game after game.

It is important to be able to switch off for three or four days, to get other thoughts, ”said Fischer in view of the upcoming Christmas mini-break.

The team will meet again on Wednesday.

The obligatory corona tests are due again.

The iron team will continue next Monday.

Then, after a few days of breathing in the family circle, Fischer will start preparing again for the next Bundesliga game at Werder Bremen the day after the New Year.

For Fischer, the defeat against Paderborn was more than a blemish.

The team was given a "clue" to make it clear that the merits earned in the league have to be defended - every time anew.

Paderborn used Union's worst three quarters of an hour since the Bundesliga season opener against FC Augsburg (1: 3) to score goals from Sven Michel (3rd / 36th minute) and Dennis Srbeny (31st).

The goal by Prömel (6th) and the own goal by Paderborn's Uwe Hünemeier (57th) were of no use to the Köpenickers.
