Bayern debacle in the cup? Gladbach legend Vogts: FCB beatable “anytime” – praise to Hütter
Gladbach legend Berti Vogts expresses himself exclusively on Goal and SPOX about Bayern’s bankruptcy in the DFB Cup.
Gladbach legend Berti Vogts once won 5-0 against FC Bayern with Borussia Mönchengladbach. After the record champions’ memorable cup disaster on Wednesday on the Niederhein, the 74-year-old former national coach explains why the foals did the trick again and where the Bavarians are “very, very vulnerable”.
“The victory is not only very important for the team, but for the entire Bundesliga. Now other teams know how to play against Bayern,” explains the 1974 world champion in an interview with Goal and SPOX.
However, the defeat of the German record champions is not due to the absence of FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann, who is still suffering from Corona, but to the Gladbach coach, who has recently been criticized for the mixed start of the season. “Adi Hütter alone deserves great, great praise. He cracked Bayern’s system and found out the weaknesses,” says Vogts.
The foals had implemented his system well “and not always through the outer positions”, but played through the center: “The Bavarians are always very vulnerable there.” Hütter, who took over Gladbach last summer, beat Munich twice during his tenure in the Main metropolis. In November 2019, a 1: 5 bankruptcy of Bayern cost Hütters Frankfurt Niko Kovac the job.
Vogts: Gladbach with a “note” to Bundesliga clubs
With his approach, the Austrian had not given the other Bundesliga clubs a lesson, but a “note”, according to Vogts: “Gladbach has shown that you can beat Bayern in the away game with courage and enthusiasm at any time.”
Nevertheless, Gladbach’s chances with regard to the international places have not necessarily improved. “Borussia will not play like this every weekend. You can also see that Bayern have let Gladbach play. Other Bundesliga clubs will not allow that,” said Vogts, adding: “Gladbach is 12th at the moment and belongs there A whole lot more. It was in the cup here and that looks completely different in the Bundesliga against VfL Bochum on Sunday. “
Gladbach has already won 5-0 against Bayern
Gladbach is considered a great feared opponent of Bayern, who have now lost five of the last eight games away at Borussia-Park. “That speaks on the one hand for and on the other hand against the players. If you only call up one hundred percent against FC Bayern and then only play with 60 percent against Bochum, there might be another surprise at the weekend,” warns Vogts.
Borussia have already won 5-0 against FC Bayern once in their long club history. In Gladbach’s highest victory over FCB up to the memorable cup evening, Vogts was in the starting line-up.
