VfL Bochum continues to disappoint abroad. After the defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Dieter Hecking chooses clear words.
After the clear 0: 3 defeat of his VfL Bochum near Borussia Mönchengladbach, Dieter Hecking did not take a leaf out of his mouth. The trainer took over the role of the journalists himself and summarized the game sarcastic: “If someone wants to ask after my return: we were nice and nice.” But the disappointment about his team’s appearance was unmistakable. Hecking was “sobered how long hasn’t”.
After the 3: 3 against RB Leipzig in the previous week, which the Bochumer on Castroper Straße had celebrated like a win, the mood in the Borussia park was different. The undersignment of the bottom of the table was clear again. “The goals that we get it was not ready for the Bundesliga,” said Hecking clearly: “So we will get a few points away.”
In the 0: 1 by Rocco Reitz (34th), the bottom of the table was duped by a simple corner variant of the home team. In passing two, the back team acted after a rapidly executed throw in Gladbacher, which was a “false” for Hecking, then clumsy, Robin Hack (55th) increased. “The 0: 2 by Robin must not fall. We are so nice and friendly, good guests, help Tim small service more or less that he can do the throw -in,” said Hecking. Afterwards, however, “the defense behavior in the last chain was” too simple “.
In the 0: 3 by small service (86th) after a controversial penalty, the defensive was again too passive. Hecking criticized: “I would have liked the Borussia to score different hits than those we ate.” Nevertheless, he did not want to reduce the win of the Gladbacher and emphasized that the home side had had “several opportunities”.
For Hecking, his team’s performance was particularly disappointing after the point against Leipzig. “I thought that we will get it under control at some point. But today I’m really disillusioned,” admitted the 60-year-old. In order to remedy the out of the away weakness, you have to “press buttons as quickly as possible”.
