On December 13, the Gladbach pros will complete their first training session after the premature winter break due to the World Cup in Qatar.
Coach Daniel Farke (46) and his team of coaches gave the players individual training plans to take with them on vacation.

Manu Koné (21), who played for the French U21s after the last Bundesliga game against Dortmund (4-2), is completing his training program with private coach Raphael Guinguincoin.
Rapahel who…?
Guinguincoin is considered an absolute expert in the French football industry – and a Borussia has already benefited incredibly from him – Marcus Thuram (25)!
The striker took the fitter with him on vacation to the dream island of Turks and Caicos in the south-east of the Bahamas last summer after an absolutely dreadful season with just three goals.

With success: Thuram seems fitter than ever this season, has already scored 13 competitive goals for Borussia and even made it into the French World Cup squad.
Now Koné is also trying to benefit from Guinguincoin and get even better.
Background: Koné could be transferred to an absolute top European club in the summer – the Frenchman would of course want to be in top form in the second half of the season.
