Lang, long, it is here: The last football match of Borussia Mönchengladbach without concedor is now more than three months. On November 20, that was, at the 4: 0 against the then and today's Bundesliga final light Greuther Fürth. Since then, there was no once the zero. Neither the 2-3 Test Pielniedlage against third division Viktoria Cologne nor at the 0: 3-cup blaming against Hannover 96. The team of coach Adi Hütter represents at 51 goals after 25 games the throttle defense of the Bundesliga - in front of Hertha BSC (58) and Fürth (64).

The birdwild defensive of the eleven of the Lower Rhine is a major problem in the fight for the league. Since 13 games Gladbach did not play zero anymore, as long as no other team is currently.

The Borussia defenders reached a low point on Saturday at 2: 3 against the VFB Stuttgart, when a two-door leadership was still delivered. "As a team we have to bring a 2-0 better over the laps," said Hütter. But the two outer chest Joe Scally and Ramy Bensbaini (each Test Pielniedlage note 5.5) also caught a disaster tag as center-back Nico Elvedi or midfielder Kouadio Koné (both 5).

"We did not defend well, you have to say that," the Austrian criticized and wanted to leave the failures of Tony Jantschke (knee problems) as well as Marvin Friedrich and Stefan Lainer (both ill) to be considered an excuse: "Nevertheless, we are so that we are Players have on the court, which can be better defended. I speak not only from the defense, but of the whole team. " But it's slow but certainly the doubts. "If you look at the third goal, all stand on the line and want to defend the goal - rather than actively try to get Kalajdzic to come to the shot, ", Hütter analyzed.

Instead of ordered resistance, his team delivered the Stuttgarten and missed a liberation in the relegation battle. For the personnel decisions did not apply: Breel Embolo should provide relief for relief after his conversion in 4-4-2 in addition to Marcus Thuram, but went with the rest of the team. On the other hand, Luca Net made it after his absorption for six minutes before the end than the indisputable Bensbaini - too late, the game had already run. "We have to clarify the situations better and be more aggressive in the two-fight," called Hütter, the Moserte: "That's what bothers me Most. We run 2: 0 and get three goals - that's not leaving it."
