Borussia Mönchengladbach has thoroughly spoiled the return to the old place of work for its former coach Marco Rose. Borussia clearly won 3-0 (2-0) against Rose’s new club RB Leipzig on Saturday evening.
A brace from national player Jonas Hofmann (10th minute/35th) and a goal by Ramy Bensebaini (53rd) ensured Gladbach’s deserved success, which moved up to sixth place in the Bundesliga. Leipzig, on the other hand, suffered their second defeat in their third competitive game under Rose and initially slipped to twelfth place.
Gladbach expects transfer fee: Leipzig’s negotiations on Eberl “on the home stretch”
Before the game, it became clear that an agreement between the two clubs on Max Eberl joining the cup winners from Saxony was imminent. . “We are on the home straight and assume that we will reach an agreement with Gladbach,” said RB managing director Oliver Mintzlaff on “Sky” about the status of the negotiations: “I hope that we will have a final decision in the next few days .”
Gladbach’s sports director Roland Virkus also spoke of “negotiations on the home straight”. The new RB coach Marco Rose dealt with the subject of Eberl much more offensively when he returned to his old place of work: “I’m happy that he’s back, I’m also happy that we will work together because I’m Max out of time here.”
Eberl, who according to “Kicker” will work as sports director at RB from January, has “almost single-handedly done great things” for Borussia for many years, said former Gladbach coach Rose, “I would therefore also like that one certain objectivity finds its way into the topic and one does not try to conjure up any crude conspiracy theories. In my opinion, they are borderline.”
Rose addressed an open letter from the Mönchengladbach fan project, in which the former sporting director of Borussia was accused of “shabby” behavior because of the imminent move to the hated RB project. “You have to make a few things clear,” emphasized Mintzlaff: “I tried to make contact quite often – but he closed. There was no chance at all.” Only after the cup final did the first meeting take place, and then “the door opened a bit”. On Saturday, abusive posters against the former official could be seen in the Gladbach stadium.
