Rani Khedira: I never was a red-bull

A better interlocutor could hardly find Berlin media representatives on this Monday. Ran Hegira of 1. FC Union covered in a virtual round of almost all issues that affect the Bundesliga football in the capital.

Hegira reported on the evaluation of the 1: 2 defeat of 1. FC Union at Eintracht Frankfurt. As an ex-Leipzig he could tell about his time and experiences at the next opponent RB. And under the new Bertha coach Taken Workout Hegira has already worked. But one after another.

Union once again back is not very close

Union was back out not very close in the Bundesliga in Frankfurt once again. As in previous away games at 1. FC Cologne were lost in the final minutes points (2: 2) and VfB Stuttgart (1: 1).

2 in the 95th minute: In Frankfurt, the all-in-one came to blow. It's annoying when you have the one. Achieved in a really poor game from us 1 and still empty-handed home runs, Hegira said. And we know that we need to make it much better to take points in the Bundesliga.

We have to get different freshness somehow.

Ran Hegira for exposure to the international games

Self-critical of the 27-year-old Hegira admitted having not even made the best game in Frankfurt. This was certainly one of the reasons that he has been replaced already in the 58th minute. The trip hardships that accompanied the flight from the European Cup game at MacCaig Haifa to Frankfurt, Hegira did not accept as an excuse. We are professionals, and we also want to spend the winter in this international competition. We need to bring the freshness somehow different and clever play to the unnecessary meters save by turnovers, said Hegira.

The next home game on Friday (20.30, LIVE! At media representatives) against RB Leipzig want to make Union and Hegira better. Incentive to the performance in the last race at home against Bertha BSC (2: 0) to be. Although it currently corona due in Leipzig and sporty is not working right, Hegira believes in a difficult task. Leipzig is accustomed to playing internationally. You have to reach the pressure next year minimum, the Europa League. Then they have quasi again win, said Hegira.

Red Bull? Hegira preferably water

With several of Leipzig Hegira played from 2014 to 2017 (54 competitive matches) still together. He knows coach Jesse March, because the Americans times the Leipzig er an intern in a winter training camp. Under coach Ralf Rang nick Hegira learned in Leipzig things about their ability to press he had not perceived so before.

Although Hegira from 2017 to 2021 for four years for the FC Augsburg (127 competitive matches) graduated, he stressed, now 100 percent to be Union er. The cans of former clubs did not like Hegira, apparently. I was never a Red Bull drinkers. I am the type of water. In the role of the water carrier or running joyful central midfield man's Hegira could work out a regular place in the Union.

Hegira over Workout: An incredibly great person

The new coach at Bertha BSC Pal Cardie to Taken Workout plays for Hegira more of a secondary role. But there is also a personal touch because Hegira was trained in youth VfB Stuttgart ten years ago by Workout. Taken is independent of the football an incredibly great guy. He has experienced a lot, he had great coaches and many stations abroad, said Hegira. He can lead characters very well and has a clear game idea. He's a great football coach in my eyes.
