Union Berlin, the German football club based in Berlin, has made significant progress in its mid-term goals following the appointment of Becker and Knoche as its new head coach and sports director respectively.

The duo's arrival at Union Berlin has been met with enthusiasm from fans and supporters alike, who have seen a renewed sense of hope and optimism for the future of the team. The two have brought a wealth of experience to their roles, having both worked under some of the world's top coaches and managers.

One of the key areas that Becker and Knoche have focused on is improving the team's attacking play. Under their leadership, Union Berlin has scored more goals than any other Bundesliga side this season, with a total of 48 goals scored so far. This improvement in offensive performance has helped to boost the team's overall position in the league table, putting them just outside the relegation zone.

In addition to improving their goal-scoring capabilities, Becker and Knoche have also prioritized defensive solidity. They have implemented stricter training regimes and introduced new tactics to help improve the team's defense, which has resulted in fewer goals conceded this season compared to last year.

Overall, the partnership between Becker and Knoche has been instrumental in helping Union Berlin achieve their mid-term goals. With two key areas of focus - attacking play and defense - being addressed, the team now stands in a strong position to continue their successful run in the Bundesliga. As they look towards the rest of the season, it remains to be seen how much further they can push themselves and what kind of impact they will have on the league as a whole.
