It’s how we do it – Hertha Berlin rituals!

Hertha Berlin players opened up about the routines and habits that prepare them for matchday, giving fans a glimpse into their personal rituals. Some players like to unwind the night before by putting on comfortable clothes and watching a movie, creating a sense of calm before the intensity of the game. Others prioritize a relaxing massage and catch up on Netflix, focusing on recovery and mental preparation. These small yet meaningful rituals help players center themselves and get ready to perform at their best.

Music is another key part of the pre-game routine. For some players, hip-hop, including classics like Tupac, is the go-to soundtrack to get into the right mindset. Others prefer listening to albums such as La Villa Burika from Uruguay, which energizes and motivates them. These songs become part of the ritual that helps players focus and mentally prepare for the challenges ahead, turning individual playlists into a personal pre-match performance tool.

The team also discussed the unique and sometimes unusual habits of teammates. Marco Oliver Kemth, for instance, takes a shower before games, a ritual that might seem odd but clearly works for him. Some teammates skip interaction entirely, heading straight to the changing room without speaking to anyone, while others, like the players who participated in this Q&A, talk and interact freely. Hertha Berlin maintains a collective ritual where the squad gathers in a circle before each match. Depending on who speaks—sometimes the captain, sometimes another player—this tradition reinforces friendship, teamwork, and the collective energy needed for a successful performance.

Goal celebrations and fan chants hold a special place for the players as well. Memorable celebrations include Wayne Rooney’s famous overhead kick against Manchester City and personal gestures like a Spiderman celebration dedicated to a player’s son. Favorite chants, including “Ha ho he Hertha BSC,” resonate strongly with the team, creating a shared sense of excitement and motivation. Even past experiences, like memorable chants from previous clubs, stay with the players and influence how they connect with fans today.
