Union Berlin faces an unusual challenge: Coach Lustrinelli has set clear rules in the training camp in Austria – even threatening a pizza ban. The players must adhere to the new guidelines, or there will be consequences.
What happened?
In the training camp in Austria, Lustrinelli confronted his team with strict rules. A video on Instagram shows the coach warning his players: Anyone who violates the rules risks losing the popular pizza party. The players do not seem thrilled about the announcement.
Why does it matter for Union?
Discipline in the team is crucial for success in the new season. Union finished last season in 11th place with 32 points (8 wins, 8 draws, 13 losses). With better focus and stricter adherence to the rules, the team could perform stronger in the upcoming season.
What's next?
The team will soon return from the training camp and prepare for the first game of the new season. The next match is on November 21, 2026, against RB Leipzig, currently in 4th place in the Bundesliga. Union must prepare for the challenges of the new season, especially with injured players like Robert Skov and Frederik Ronnow.
