The foals of Mönchengladbach is no longer around to gallop wild on the lawn, you are grown up, writes DW’s editor, Sarah Wiertz to the success of the gallery and quoting Uli Hoeness.
One thing Uli Hoeness – he is recyclable. On the tenth round, the President of Bayern said to the press: “the [Mönchengladbach, Anm. d. Red.] more points than we do? No. Maximum of the better goal difference. But that does not interest me.” This is exactly the quote you can dig now to double the number of game days. Because the Borussia from the lower Rhine has displaced the German record Champions from Munich – again due to the better Torverhältnisses – from the second place.
Not interested in turn Mönchengladbach. The only goal of Borussia Dortmund qualifying for the Champions League, according to the words of the responsible of the Association. And yet, the Team of Dieter Hecking is an impressive example of why it can compete with the individually better-stocked teams of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich this season. It is understanding, i.e. the Estimate of the own abilities is a healthy self. “We have in front of us and during the season developed,” explains Christoph Kramer, one of the two scorers in the 2-0 win at Schalke.
Result-oriented
With the self-understanding of the Faith is returned to a game only to end the need to decide and. While the offensive joyful “foals” were still in the last season, often nervous and hectic, if it did not work with a goal, the Team this season in a quiet and serene up until the final whistle. Often the Borussia scored first in the second half, their goals, most recently against Augsburg (78. Minute/90.+3) and now in Gelsenkirchen (85./90.+2). “It will take more until we have played the opponent is small,” says Kramer, adding: “The less spectacular work is at least as important.”

With the little bit of spectacular work, especially those it is meant to be on the Defensive. And the is top. Mönchengladbach has so far allowed only 18 goals against, only Leipzig (also 18) is able to keep up. For the tenth Time Borussia played in this season, to Zero – more often than any other Team. Michael Lang, Nico Elvedi, and Oscar Wendt will play a solid season, especially in defence however two professionals: national player Matthias Ginter and goalkeeper Yann summer. Ginter provides the necessary discipline, the summer with great parades his Team in the game. The Borussia Dortmund in Gelsenkirchen, despite the unnecessary defensive errors and unnecessary Yellow cards before the break quiet. And also as in spite of the majority-not gate was going to fall out, game first, the Team believed more in themselves.
Kramer: Exemplary
And then the replacement players jump stop into the breach. So this time, Kramer and Florian Neuhaus, because the otherwise high-scoring players such as Alassane Plea and Thorgan Hazard are not met. At All Kramer. The world champion of 2014, has lost his regular place. Nevertheless, listening to him, not a negative word. On The Contrary. It was a “matter of honor, to recommend me again for the starting line-up,” says Kramer. You mean: don’t complain, don’t complain – but performance.
With this setting, Mönchengladbach is the Champions League-qualification hardly more. If the tradition of the club, also the big favorites and rivals from the 1970s, FC Bayern, annoy, the better. And downright weird it would be if Mönchengladbach would also be the last round before the Münchenern – due to the better goal difference.
