Sorry, we don’t want to disturb you. But – after the cup gala it is unfortunately before the gray everyday life of the league …
Even two days after the 5-0 dream, the whole of Gladbach is still talking about the appearance of the century against Bayern. A look at the Bundesliga table is almost a bit surreal. But actually as Tables-12. (!) The cup giants (Sun., 5.30 p.m. / DAZN) receive VfL Bochum, which is only one point worse.
No wonder that coach Adi Hütter (51) increased the pressure on his stars after the destruction of Bayern.
Now Wednesday’s heroes like Breel Embolo (24), who made the game of his life and was involved in all five goals, are supposed to start the big race to catch up and shave Bochum at the beginning!
Hütter: “My team has shown what unbelievable potential they have – that is now the benchmark! I hope that this game is also an initial spark for the league – we have to be measured against it now and also show such performances in the championship. “
This is especially true for Embolo, who as a brilliant counter-player against low-lying opponents (like Bochum) often has big problems. At the 0: 1 in Berlin, he saw no country at all, had to take harsh criticism (BILD rating 6) – and then exploded against Bavaria.
Hütter explains the two Embolo faces: “It is of course better for Breel if he has 30 or 40 meters of space behind the last line of the opponent. Bochum will be a completely different game again, but we have to learn to crack such opponents too. “
And then again the announcement to his team: “For us it is important to radiate dominance from the very first minute. To not score a goal against Augsburg or Berlin – that is not possible for this team. “
This also applies to Sunday against Bochum!
