The start of Borussia Moenchengladbach into the new season could not have run nearly better, between timely even already was one at place 5 of the table. But then the crash followed. Now, five plays later, one slipped downward in the table whole ten places, on average thus two per play. The reason: All five plays were lost. Five defeats in consequence - thus they did not probably count in Gladbach, after at the beginning all functioned. And as if that would be not already bad enough, one also still flew to all abundance against Duisburg from the cup. Thus the word “crisis” can be taken here into the mouth. Often it was usual in Gladbach in connection with this word that the coach infrage was placed. But since Rainer Bonhof in Gladbach has a saying, something other wind blows, because also after so a defeat series Michael Frontzeck (still) does not have to fear for its post. That will not also change, should follow in coming Sunday the sixth defeat one behind the other.

The patience is however also not unlimited, therefore Bonhof got straight fast that one did not want to again experience as a Christmas as last year. Background: Last year was already past one to the winter break with 11 points. In any case one waits much work for Frontzeck. Because no crew permitted more gate shots and also the attack already is since several plays without success experience. Particularly critically will it, should the Borussia because of Sunday with 0:1 in the back be, against the acting German master, because since exactly three years one could not turn such an arrears any longer.
