Union Berlin: "Max Kruse can not be replaced"

Coach Urs Fischer by Union Berlin sees winter new entrance Sven Michel not as a classic replacement for the immigrant Topscorer Max Kruse.

"Max Kruse can not replace one on 1. I hope Sven Michel did not try to be Max Kruse. Sven Michel should be Sven Michel," said Fischer on Thursday.

The 31-year-old Michel had come shortly before the transfer of the second division SC Paderborn and with the recommendation of 14 seasons and seven templates. "You have to get that first," said Fischer, "We get a player who knows where the gate is".

That Michel is already in the away game on Saturday (15:30 / SKY) at FC Augsburg in the starting eleven, but is rather unlikely.

The coach did not want to lose a lot of words about the Kruse replaced to Ligaconkunkt VfL Wolfsburg. "What should I stop with things that I can not influence? He was a manager, a personality, in the end also a different player," said Fischer: "But he is not there anymore."
