UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Here's a last vid from the 2nd leg match against Juve at Borussia-Park.




Bonne nuit.

 

Yeah but Schubert seems to have done a better job this season. The Man City match was one of his first games I think.

 

Each to his or her own. Personally, I love a sort of 'bear bones' shell around a stadium ..it just has a more down to earth feel. No surprise that I get off on scaffolding .

 

Here's some pics I took in Seville back in September (our first CL game).

Let's hope for "revenge" on Wednesday when I'll be at Borussia-Park for the decisive group match concerning spot 3.


Buona notte.

 

All the best today guys, go Gladbach!!

 

every home game, if I'm not mistaken, has had an amazing Tifo. The whole stadium, against city; the party popper and confetti against Juve, and now this against Sevilla. those supporters in that Nordkurve

another view;

 

ah, yes, this was kind of entertaining!
a floating exchange of blows with open visor
doors wide open day (fortunately on BOTH sides)
I thought: what is Favre thinking if he watches (I guess he did) this?
the new week would begin with some extra sessions to strengthen defensive compactness one could imagine
but then the central-defender-situation at the beginning of the season came to my mind
1. first and overall: the incarnation of leadership, Stranzl
2. Mr.reliable: Jantschke
3. closely followed by Dominguez
4. not to forget Rooooooooel
5. Nordveidt as fill-in
6. two rookies
and not even four months later ?
who of them played in this hyped competition where the continent's best teams meet?
gives me the creeps, shaky defense or not...

 

The loss at home to City really hurt. Had that stayed a draw, we'd have a chance for the next round.

I will guess, however, that City doesn't send out their top squad for the last game. They have already qualified and have no need to waste their efforts.

 

I'm not sure, winning the group isn't that trivial
neither Juve (good for us!) nor City should feel an increased interest to face Barca or Bayern that early
both opponents would mean the certain & inglorious death for the sheik-crew I guess ;-))

anyway, you're totally right about the loss against City!

 

not only our CB-situation is kind of special
right wing, too: Herrmann injured, Hahn injured and Traoré out after 4 minutes... darn! I thought... but offensive play is still floating! in CL!
which brings us to Drmic: he is looking better! Schubert told they worked on Drmic' wing-performance the last weeks because of the injuries and his need for more 'room'

Toni seemed a little bit shaky against H96 and there was talk about his shoulder still hurting (not sure if we see Stranzl again this year, he wasn't even on the bench)
Thor got playing-time at the start of the season... and man, did we suck! (I'm not saying it was his fault, but...), he surely has room for improvement in 1on1s (something countable from his many chances wouldn't be bad either)... moreover: he did something stupid in demanding more playing time in Belgian media... yes, you and him are right: only this is gonna help to improve but going public does not 'fertilize' his relationship towards the supporters, and more important not towards his colleagues and the most important not towards his coach (rumour has it he's extra-touchy in this field)... breaking ranks is just not smart playing for a team "with no stars" as spanish quality-paper El País wrote today
Schulz may have lost his place to Christensen (just?) because of the flu before the C*l*gne-match if I remember correctly... and from this point on Andreas was 'delivering'... I'm pretty sure Schulz is gonna be a fine Bundesliga-Player... maybe in defensive midfield (Dahoud already seems to be a logical target for the big, ugly & especially rich ones)

weird: the WELT (big nationwide newspaper) is getting enthusiastic today about Borussia claiming that Gladbach (and not Bayern or BVB) is playing the kind of soccer everybody wants to see

 

Great result against Sevilla and that Tifo was great. Form has been awesome with the surge up the table. Hope it continues, would like to see BMG back in the CL next season for another go.

 

I witnessed a hell of a game at Borussia-Park on Wednesday night! I've rarely seen so much intensity & so many scoring opportunities during the whole 90 minutes in a CL group stage match ... it was pretty obvious from the start that both teams went for the 3 points. This time, we didn't dominate them as much as we did in our last home game against them (which I attended as well) ... ball possession was pretty even, I think ... thankfully our guys were more clinical this time. Lars Stindl "man of the match" and Fabian Johnson with a superb goal (killing the game off after some nerve-wrecking moments for any BMG fan in the 2nd half). Even Josip Drmic impressed me when he came in early for the injured Ibrahima Traore ... his good performance should hopefully boost his confidence.

It was high time to finally beat Seville and get the 1st CL victory ... and the opportunity couldn't be better, since we badly needed all 3 points in order to keep our chances for spot 3 alive. We're relying on Juventus now (a draw from them in Sevilla would be enough for us to qualify for the EuroLeague), as I don't expect us to win in Manchester ... however, I gladly take this risk when I remember our situation after the 0:3 in Andalusia.

Big kudos to our team & manager!!! Wir sind stolz auf euch!!!
