Nurnberg earned a point on the 23rd matchday of the 2. Bundesliga against Hertha BSC. The 0-0 draw against the Berlin club was not exactly a spectacle, but for 1. FC Nurnberg it was an important step forward. Miroslav Klose, the team's coach, saw his team strong defensively and was satisfied with the point. The Nurnberg team had worked a lot on their defense in recent weeks and this is now paying off. The compactness and the fact that they are not conceding many scoring opportunities are good signs for the future. And yet, the team must continue to work on their attacking play to be really successful. Klose was not satisfied with the transition play and sees a lot of potential for improvement here. The counterattacks were not finished cleanly and this needs to be improved. Robin Knoche, the team's captain, urges his team to keep going and not let up. He sees that the team has grown in the second half of the season and that this is a good sign for the future. So 1. FC Nurnberg is now only four points away from third place and can still dream of a surprise coup in the promotion race. But the team must continue to work hard to achieve their goals. Defense is an important part of the game and the Nurnberg team must continue to work on it to be really successful. The last few weeks have shown that the team is on the right track, but there is still a lot to do.
