Hertha Berlin snap up Freiburg’s Darida
Berlin: Midfielder Vladimir Darida joined German football club Hertha Berlin from relegated Freiburg, the ‘Hauptstadtclub’ confirmed.
Berlin signed their second new arrival of the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old penned a four-year deal on Saturday which keeps him with Hertha until June 2019 and he received shirt No.6, reports Xinhua.
“Vladimir Darida is a young, yet experienced, variable player who can give our team an important impulse,” Berlin sporting director Michael Preetz said.
The Czech Republic international played since 2013 for Freiburg to score nine goals in 54 appearances. Aside from that, Darida is, since 2012, part of the Czech Republic national team where he made 25 caps.
“I am looking forward to my new task at Berlin. After good talks with those responsible I agreed on the transfer. Playing in Berlin’s Olympia Stadium in front of the Hertha supporters is exciting and a challenge at the same time,” the new arrival said.
Berlin see Augsburg in the first round of Bundesliga on August 15.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
