In this episode of FOCUS Talks, Ahmet Schaefer shared the most delicate parts of the achievements that they reached with Clermont Foot 63 and Austria Lustenau.
Union Berlin are a club that defies not just the odds but, at times, even logic itself. While illustrious, free-spending Hertha have floundered, their more industrious, more provincial, more modest neighbour's from the East are continually punching above their weight and enjoying a real fairytale season.
A more sustainable approach to their transfer dealings would, however, ease the burden on the owners and make a future transition fully away from their present privileged position—which should ultimately be the intent of the DFL—more palatable and feasible. Thus, continuing and refining the all-in policy on player development is the logical next step for a club that has been haemorrhaging money on transfers.
