Rückrunde.2019////BMG

thanks for the prayers! won't do any harm, that's for sure ;-)
actually I was very close to the casket last week but fortunately I was one of the bearers, not the decedent...
generally I have less time in autumn and winter and additionally & unexpectedly REAL LIFE (ifyouknowhatimean) jumped onto me from behind...
I barely read anything regarding Borussia for months... only just managed to watch most of the matches


bundesliga.com: The team appears to be very confident and composed at the moment. You only conceded one chance against Schalke...
Ginter: There have been a few games where it’s been goalless at the break and we’ve had to be patient. We’ve decided some games in the second half. We scored two late goals at home to Augsburg last week, too. We gave next to nothing away against Schalke, and dealt with their counter-attacks. Then errors started to creep into their game. Gaps started to appear as they tired. It was what we were waiting for.
bundesliga.com: And now Gladbach are waiting for Dortmund to slip up...
Ginter: (Laughs) Not really. I think BVB are widely seen as the favourties for the title. You can’t rule out Bayern, though. They have so much quality, but I’ll be surprised if Dortmund don’t win it.

a lot of media-fuss about our 2-0 at the moment
KICKER has the facts:
87:33 Minuten:
Freistoß Ginter - Lang - Neuhaus - Lang - Ginter - Sommer - Elvedi - Stindl - Kramer - Elvedi - Wendt - Elvedi - Sommer - Ginter - Stindl - Kramer - Stindl - Ginter - Kramer - Ginter - Lang - Ginter - Sommer - Stindl - Wendt - Hazard - Wendt - Elvedi - Kramer - Lang - Ginter - Lang - Neuhaus - Kramer - Stindl - Elvedi - Wendt - Hazard - Elvedi - Kramer - Elvedi - Wendt - Elvedi - Kramer - Stindl - Kramer - Wendt - Hazard - Kramer - Ginter - Kramer - Ginter - Lang - Kramer - Ginter - Kramer - Elvedi - Plea - Stindl - Hazard - Neuhaus: Tor bei 90:18 Minuten: 61 contacts --> 2-0 !!!
only Herrmann wasn't involved
[ok, the Schalke players had problems to stand upright at that time but it was BORUSSIA who patiently made them too tired to fight back, right?]

 

I forgot:

20 matches and we are ahead of the Hoenesses!

believe it or not! (enjoy as longs as it lasts!)

in pre-season Ansgar Brinkmann, also known as the white Brazilian or Trinkmann, told media that there are 6-year-olds in Germany who experienced only the Hoenesses being Meister... and in this case, he said, your whole childhood is ruined...
[he once attended training and told the coach: "This is my dog Gin. He's joining in today. He's with me on the right wing."]

 

Right now we have a 12 point advantage for the last European slot--and a 10 point advantage for a CL spot. That's a LOT. Also no guarantee--but I like our position.

However, the next three matches are against teams either in a European slot or competing for it. Will be a challenging month. But that's when you find out what you have. Reus may be hurt, which could give our guys an opening. The odds are slight, but this might be the year in which we have the best chance of at least competing for a title. Can you imagine the atmosphere in Borussia Park were we to be within three points or less of Dortmund on the last day of the season?? Not likely to happen--but we can dream.

 

Oh yeah. Seems like whenever they make CL hardly anybody is around to partake in it. Hope Max has a good plan for the money.

 

When you play the ball control game we do, you can be susceptible to a good countering team. Credit to Hertha. We had a nice home run.

 

I don't worry at all!
Zak & Cuisance are highly interesting players (both victims of the new 'system') but their season so far isn't making the mouth of the bigger club's water
Ginter & Elvedi (acc. to BILD Pep City is interested) are key to our current success (if they merely bring their C-game we loose 0-3 against Hertha)... but both are grounded... and with decent chances to play CL-soccer as a safe starter next season they are gonna think thrice before leaving the club... it's just not the right time as it's not for Neuhaus
Plea already told that he isn't gonna leave after just one season (and he looks pretty lame at the moment anyway ;-)
it's only Hazard who most likely is gonna leave to greener meadows... I guess... (and the club is already talking to his brother they say ;-)

FRANCE FOOTBALL has currently ranked the European top clubs... the usual suspects are leading the pack... BORUSSIA is 19th which basically means that we are higher in the foodchain than 99,99% of the clubs on this planet
yes, we'll always loose those who are real (like the Dutch say 'toppers' (ter Stegen: "a goalkeeper like a cathedral" spanish media wrote this weekend) but it's not that this happens all the time and we are gonna get great talents in return anyway (at least as long as the club leadership continues to do a equally good job as they are doing for years now)... yes, we are not gonna enter the TOP10 club... the state of affairs is cemented and it's not a halfway fair competition at all... but is it when we grab Neuhaus from 1860 or Cuisance from Nancy nearly free of charge although they nurtured and educated them? or when Zak, Sommer & Elvedi sign for us because we are in a 'bigger' league than any Swiss club?

I hope Kruse is coming back... for the case we finish TOP4... ;-)

 

incredible home run!
we could have scored earlyon saturday and we most likelywould have seen the game developing in another way but there is no reason to complain: we had matches where the course of play (the part of it which is beyond control) was clearly in our favour

definitely, maybe the least desirable opponent I want to play right now
still I'm not getting panicky if we loose this but I want no less than THREE from the Wolfsburg-match ;-)

 

I fear he's past his "sell by" date (for you non-NA people, that's the date they put on milk and the like so the store doesn't sell it after it can go bad).

 

He means the guy is too old to factor as he once did. In other words.........spoiled milk.

That ship has sailed............etc.

 

"puzzle" not mystery.
