Coach Gerardo Seoane from Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Mönchengladbach called for emotional control and fairness before the derby against 1. FC Köln on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).
“There can be duels and game situations in which emotions can run high,” said the Swiss: “Emotion control is particularly important.”
The 45-year-old would most like to “fight his arch-rivals through football” and emphasizes that “it should definitely remain fair.” Seoane sees the 3-1 defeat in the first leg as “additional motivation for his players to be able to give the spectators a pleasant afternoon and a victory.”
With a view to the DFB Cup quarter-final in Saarbrücken on Tuesday (8:30 p.m.), a good result is important because every result has an influence on the mood and mood.
The coach has almost a free choice of personnel on the weekend. With the exception of the two attackers Alassane Plea and Tomas Cvancara, all professionals are at his disposal.
