19 Bundesliga games, 22 points, an embarrassing end in the DFB Cup: Borussia Mönchengladbach has had a season to forget so far. If there is no liberation against Union Berlin on Saturday (3:30 p.m.), turbulent days threaten.
The fact that after the sobering course of the season in Gladbach is no longer sunshine is no longer a question for reporter veteran Marcel Reif.
“If things don’t go according to the shooting schedule and the lower teams don’t settle everything among themselves, then a team like Gladbach gets into trouble, then Gladbach could become the Moorhuhn this season and get lost in the basement,” Reif speculates.image“.
With the Foal-Elf it would crack and crunch “at every nook and cranny”. “Deeper things” would not be true, so Reif.
Reif: “The relationship between the coach and the team” is not correct in Gladbach
Reif also takes responsibility for coach Adi Hütter, who switched from Eintracht Frankfurt to the Lower Rhine before the season for the whopping 7.5 million euros: “Hütter did not succeed in implementing his idea of football. He has to I asked how a team can appear like that. I have the feeling that something is wrong, also in the relationship between the coach and the team.”
The trainer himself is aware that there is a lot going on: “It’s the most difficult situation in my 13-year job,” admitted Hütter on Friday before the game against Union. Although he felt “a lot of trust within the club”, he also knew that the situation had to improve quickly, the Austrian continued.
Especially since the backing from the club knows limits according to “Bild”. In the event of a clear bankruptcy against Union Berlin, sports director Max Eberl will have to make “hard decisions”. These could affect the stars on the lawn, but also Hütter.
