Offensively harmless, defensively susceptible: Borussia Mönchengladbach is looking for the Konstanz in the Football Bundesliga. The most recently so furio-playing team of coach Adi Hütter had to satisfy himself after a poor appearance at the strong FSV Mainz 05 with a 1: 1 (1: 0) and missed the jump to a European Cup place.
The Gladbacher disappointed mainly in the first round, but led long through the hits of national player Florian Neuhaus (38.). Silvan Widmer (76.) reached late the completely deserved compensation for the team of Bo Svensson, which again left a good impression and gradually set itself in the upper table.
On the whole, I am satisfied. We started and dominated well. At the goal, we were unorganized and undisciplined. But over the entire 90 minutes we would have deserved to win the game, Svensson said after the game.
