Gameday and eight games without a win in series with now 20 points at end of table. A separation of Stevens still applies this weekend in Stuttgart as probable. In the former Leipzig Angry Alexander’s successor is reportedly ready.
The team made sports director Robin Dutt a decision on the question coach at least not easily. Counter again extremely defensively Berlin VfB wanted to force the victory – but remained unhappy with his modest means. Hertha seemed from the beginning with a dot satisfied.

Stevens and his colleague Hertha Pal Dardai tried to bring last long disdained professionals momentum in their teams. In Stuttgart, the Serb Filip Kostic came to his first start operation since the end of November. In the Berliners John Heitinga was allowed to participate again in the defensive control center for the first time since early November.
The Dutchman showed equal of his well-known aggressive side. After 15 seconds landed in a duel his elbow in the face by Timo Werner. Referee Felix Brych showed a flash yellow card. Werner responded unimpressed on his 19th birthday. The Schwaben youngster was one of the best in his team. But in the 14th minute he missed a shot to hasty conclusion -. A model for the faint chance of recovery of Stuttgart in so far as dreary 2015.
The initial phase is one of the VfB willingly showed that as long winless team. “The home game is one of the better” analyzed Swabia legend Guido Buchwald at halftime at “Sky”. Hertha fell more and more under pressure, but with the first well-played counterattack would almost lead successful. The shot of Valentin Stocker (26) parried Goalkeeper Sven Ulreich. A goal was closest to Stuttgart with an extremely daring rescue attempt Hertha Marvin Plattenhardt (38), who put the ball just wide of his own goal.
Dardai responded to the poor performance and brought Nico Schulz and Tolga Cigerci for Jens Hegeler and Heitinga. Cigerci thus came after a long toe injury for the first time this season to use.
Hitzig it was after a bump upper arm by Georg Meier low against Hertha goalkeeper Thomas Kraft (51), which thereupon Christian Gentner umschubste and then fell to the ground. Brych showed strength yellow, but let down Meier get away with it.
The VfB urged, but came too little dangerous actions. Daniel Ginczek (63) had the best chance for a mistake by Anthony Brooks. Shortly afterwards came in to Vedad Ibisevic into play. But since a good 13 months scoreless attacker could finish neither his nor the VfB-negative series. Almost had Schulz (81) even provided in a counterattack for Hertha win. Shortly thereafter, must force – to be replaced – possibly because of the long-term consequences of the low-Meier Remplers. Brych got seven minutes injury time displayed – saw seconds before the final whistle Hertha Schulz Yellow-Red
