Gladbach’s wolf: “Nobody my age is satisfied with the playing time”

future open

Hannes Wolf (23) is one of the ten most expensive signings in the history of the Gladbach club – due to injury, he has rarely been able to put his horsepower on the pitch for the “foals”. “I hope that I may have all the serious injuries behind me. And then it’s probably better to have had them at a young age and not just at 32,” said the offensive all-rounder of the “Rheinische Post‘ before the home game against Werder Bremen.

After a first half of the season with just 303 minutes in 2021, Gladbach loaned the 11 million euro Austrian to Swansea City, where he was a regular in the second half of 2022 in the second English division. This season, with 334 minutes in twelve appearances so far, things have been mixed again.

“I don’t think any player my age is satisfied with the playing time I’ve had so far. Of course I’ve been playing more lately, and maybe I’ve got a slightly different standing now. But I’m not where I want to be yet,” said Wolf. His only 90-minute appearance was the 3-2 win over FC Bayern on February 18.

Wolf, who moved to Borussia from RB Leipzig, is under contract until 2024, but whether he will fulfill it seems open: “What happens to me next summer is ultimately not something I decide on my own. Of course I could let my contract expire, but I’m not the type to push things like that. I can be somewhere else in the summer, I can just as easily be here for a few more years – I want to see how things develop over the next few weeks.” “. During his time in the Gladbach jersey, his market value fell from 11 million to currently 4 million euros.

Six contracts will end at Borussia in the summer of 2023, including those of four regulars around veteran Lars Stindl (34) – a change could change Wolf’s chances of playing time. “Yes, everything can change. I think my relationship with the coach is so good that he will tell me how he sees it and how he plans. But honestly you don’t have to talk that much when you see if you’re playing, if you can get in and where you stand. What matters is what happens on the pitch,” said Wolf.

In the last five games he was in the starting XI three times, came on once as a joker and followed the zero number against SC Freiburg from the bench. In the first half of the season, he watched the 5-1 defeat in Bremen on TV due to injury – the “foals” have the chance to take revenge on Friday evening.
