Borussia Mönchengladbach: Dieter Hecking Has Options

Max Eberl was "happy Friday not to have video badysis in my day, otherwise I would have played fewer matches," Borussia's sports director said with a smile. He was called a former defender for the mistakes made by the defending forces on day 0-5 against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday. Ernst added Eberl: "What happened after the 0: 3 has bothered us all, and since then these Kontersituationen should not come in. Instead, focus on paying honestly."

He agreed with Dieter Hecking, but the coach said things differently: "Our team always feels that it can make a difference, it has to come out of their heads, even if it's the positive thing that the team still wants to move forward, you have to recognize in the field that you need to be stable.Implementation was not good. "And finally, we ended up at a home debacle." That should not we come in the form.Then you can see that this team is still in process.These things can happen, but we want as a coach of course not, "Hecking said.

The coach was taking his leaders in office, who should have kept the order on the field after the 0: 3 deficit. On Sunday (15.30), in the home match against the promoted Fortuna Dusseldorf, he could send another chef back to the lawn: Raffael has survived his calf problems that have taken him away since September 6th. "He was fully trained yesterday," Hecking said Friday. "He is safe in the team against Dusseldorf."

Perhaps it is more than that, the "Maestro" could also put in the starting lineup, a place for him would be the center of the storm that Lars Stindl recently occupied. The captain interprets the role but, a little differently, can fall several times in the center of the field, the penalty is orphaned. Especially that attacker Albadane Plea will continue to fail. The French has up to now been able only to train individually. Hecking announced that he was still waiting, but he also said: "For Düsseldorf, it's rare." He certainly does not want to badume that a too early use of Pleas might hurt him or aggravate his injury – so the coach has changed. Moreover, Raphael has not played against Leverkusen. The gap was too great to merit the (residual) risk of hurting the Brazilian again and again.

Against Düsseldorf, Raphael definitely increases the bandwidth. He goes to the attack center, where he participated in the test against Bochum in Willingen, when he was injured, Stindl, who looked a little less fresh after his long break, could take a break or move to one of two places at eight. But Raffael would be conceivable, but Stindl is still a little stronger in the work against the ball and Jonas Hofmann, who was not yet too cool against Leverkusen, could take a break, or Florian Neuhaus. But he will certainly be particularly motivated against the former colleagues in Düsseldorf, with whom he was allowed to celebrate the rise of the loan borrowed by Gladbacher. The question of wing occupations is also exciting: Thorgan Hazard is likely to be placed on one of two opposing Patrick Herrmann against Leverkusen, who has just been self-promoted, Fabian Johnson was not even in the team, Ibrahima Traore came in the second half and animated the game without being able to influence it in the result.

In addition, Hecking has opportunities and must now find the right mix against Fortuna. About coach Borussia Düsseldorf, said: "The past matches were not good in the Bundesliga, but now, draw the consequences of our match would be fatal.This is one of their games of the season they will want to reduce everything for their followers. "This should also apply to Gladbacher, who should have made the popularity of the north curve after the breakup of the cup." That impressed me, that the people who thwarted the result certainly reward what we have built in recent weeks, "said Eberl.
