1:54 p.m.: That’s it, the press conference in Borussia Park is over.
1:53 p.m.: Farke is asked whether he thinks it is possible for leaders Union Berlin to become champions in the Bundesliga. “Anything is possible in football. The fact that they are at the top is no coincidence, but a sign of quality. Fantastic work is being conducted there. However, Bayern Munich is still a top favorite for me.”
1:51 p.m.: “We shouldn’t be too critical, a 2-2 draw with a team like Wolfsburg is okay. Sure, we want the maximum. We can still improve on that.”
1:49 p.m.: Farke demands from his team that they continue to be determined and greedy for tours. He didn’t like the lack of precision at first contact in Wolfsburg, for example.
1:45 p.m.: Farke is asked about the issue of defensive stability, as Borussia have conceded a few goals in recent games. “It happens sometimes. We addressed that. You also have to see the gameplay. We could have done better in some situations. You also have to accept that, like against Cologne, the opponent sometimes scores a goal without really having a chance to score.”

1:38 p.m.: Farke says about the starting position: “We are Borussia Mönchengladbach, we are the favourites. But that will be very difficult.
