Union Berlin have surprised everyone with their rapid rise in German football. From playing in the second division to competing in Europe in just three seasons, they have mastered the "Art of Overachieving". So how have they done it? Through astute transfers, smart tactics and a strong connection with their fanbase. Like Premier League winners Leicester City and Euro 2004 champions Greece before them, Union have found a way to overachieve and outplay teams with far larger resources. This is their Bundesliga fairytale.

Stuttgart became the stepping stone for Die Eisernen in May 2019 thanked to away goal rule in playoff. They survived first season in second season, they qualified UECL after they defeated RB franchise club in may 2021 In third season they almost qualify UCL despite they done the double against RB franchise club and let go of Kruse and Friedrich in 2022

As a long time FC Basel fan, i can safely say Urs Fischer is one of the best coaches i've ever seen at a "lower level". He won us the domestic double with an aging squad, meanwhile his direct replacement struggled to even fight for the title. He's an incredible character and deserves all the praise he's gotten and will continue to get when Union inevitably break into the domestic Top 4.
@navaryn2938

I had been following Union since 2018, eventually going to Berlin in 2022 on holiday, and taking the opportunity to visit the An der Alten Försterei. I was welcomed as an unioner right away, and nowadays I put the love I have for Union as close as my the love for my hometown club. Even went to an UCL match in Portugal, which strenghtened my bond with the club. Met amazing people, and I feel part of this family, even tough I live more than five thousand kms away from Köpenick!

The fact the Bundesliga lacks a team like this, probably means they will stay there, as a new 4th Power in the Bundesliga. There is the Big Cash Club that uses its power and take the best players from the local teams. Bayern Munich. There is the Team that has the best Youth Development, so good that European Powers constantly try to take their players. Borussia Dortmund There is the Corporate Team that uses its Scouting and Brand to get talent for cheap from their own feeder clubs. RB Leipzig. And finally there is the Traditional Team that remembers Old Football and its origins are Working Class. If Union Berlin manages this properly, they could become the Liverpool of the Bundesliga, eventually becoming a Giant of their own but with a unique culture different to the other Big Clubs.

I always wonder if the Bundesliga was meant 4 Bayern Munich. Even if the likes of Borrusia Dortmund are 20 points ahead, it's like they try so much to give the title to Bayern as if they were bought off. Rival teams even sell their best players to Bayern, it's so strange. U can't see that in Premier League eg Mane/ Salah from Liverpool to Man U or Man City, Laliga eg Barca selling Messi to Real Madrid or Benzama from R. Madrid to Barcelona, Serie A or Ligue 1. But you see clubs like Leverkusen, Dortmund (great Bayern rivals) etc selling Lewandosky, Mazundic or other best players to Bayern. Every season you just know the title is for Bayern. Hope Union Berlin will change this trend. That what makes foot ball very interesting.

Bayern munich is similar to chairman Tanabe from Japanese manga One Outs. He used the reason of 'lending a hand for teams that have financial difficulties instead of making these team to liquidate themselves' to make their signing of ace player reasonable

I hope Union Berlin wins Bundesliga and advances to the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage ahead of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund this season. The Iron Ones (Die Eisernen), however, they'll win the competition and qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Union may not have the wealth that Bayern or Dortmund have but they are smart in recruitment and management. Despite other Bundesliga clubs took advantage on them by signing their valuable players in lower price but they can find a better replacement
