National soccer player Florian Neuhaus described the performance of long-time sports director Max Eberl as “phenomenal”.
“Everyone connects Borussia Mönchengladbach with the name Max Eberl. What he has built up here cannot be appreciated enough. That’s why it’s a shame that it’s over,” said the 24-year-old in an interview with “rp-online”. .
The team was surprised by Eberl’s health-related withdrawal last week. “When dealing with him, it wasn’t noticed how he was doing, but Max wasn’t always with the team either,” said Neuhaus.
The midfielder emphasized that the difficult sporting situation in the relegation battle was assessed correctly before the game at Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).
“We understood what the games are about. Now we have to beat Bielefeld. We know how important it is,” he explained. It’s not just about the quality of the game. “We want to show that we can also march, attack and be aggressive,” said Neuhaus.
His personal difficult time under coach Adi Hütter is over. “There were constructive, positive discussions. We addressed all issues openly and have a great relationship today. I tried to draw strength from the phase,” said Neuhaus.
