Grønning discusses Hertha's unbeaten start to Bundesliga 2, crediting clear philosophy, team harmony and Stefan Leitl's influence as keys to their nine wins in ten matches.

Hertha Berlin have made a remarkable start to the 2026/27 Bundesliga 2 season, remaining unbeaten across 10 matches with nine victories to top the table. Striker Sebastian Grønning attributed the success to the team's clear philosophy and strong chemistry, noting that every player understands their role and the collective approach suits the squad's qualities.
