Two weeks ago, Borussia Mönchengladbach dreamed of returning to the very large international stage and after 27 Bundesliga match days only two points behind a Champions League rank. Since then there has been a 1-1 at FC St. Pauli and recently the 1-2 at home against SC Freiburg, which the Fohlenelf brought back on the hard ground of reality.
Borussia Mönchengladbach is now only seventh in the table, SC Freiburg pulled past VfL again after the victory in direct duel. His top scorer and international Tim Kleindienst was annoyed after the eleventh deficiency of the season about great deficits in terms of attitude to his own team and no longer took a leaf out of his mouth.
“I do not know whether some are already developing such a satisfaction that the season is so far and we let it plan a bit. That is what annoys me a bit,” was quoted in very clear words in the “kicker”.
With the feeling of safe relegation in the back, the foal elf could actually have long since been completely detached and freed. Instead, the Gladbacher last missed the necessary determination of what was fatal to them against SC Freiburg at home in several situations.
Small service struggles with Gladbach body language
“Somehow we have a body language as if the season was already through and it was nothing more. But now it’s about something, and now we should go up two courses again,” emphasized Stürmer small service, who only contributed one goal even on the past seven match days.
According to the 29-year-old, the performance against Freiburg was “far from sufficient so that we could have won the game”. Next Sunday, the away game at Borussia Dortmund for the Gladbacher in the Bundesliga against the next direct competitor for international business.
