Game preparation with a difference!
Gladbach remains unbeaten for the fourth time in a 1-1 draw in Frankfurt. And before the game there was a very special evening program for some Borussia stars!
Did you hear? Mysterious music after a post shot
On Friday, the French Marcus Thuram (25), Alassane Plea (30), Kouadio Koné (21) and Nathan Ngoumou (23) had luxury clothes delivered to the team hotel! Buzz Plug — an online retailer that specializes in shipping clothing — posted several photos on Instagram of the professionals trying on clothes in a large hall.
The Gladbach team bus can be seen in one of the photos, with the comment “Delivery Time” below it. A video panning around the room shows a lot of clothes strewn on the floor as Thuram, Plea, Koné and Ngoumou examine the clothes.
Frankfurt equalizes late
The unusual action initially had no negative effects on the Gladbach game!
13. Minute: Neuhaus sends the lightning-fast Thuram on the left. The Frenchman puts it in the middle to Hofmann, who only has to push into the empty goal. 1-0 for Borussia!
In the absence of Stindl (sitting on the bench), the national player leads a team as captain for the first time in his career – and scores his ninth goal of the season.
But: In the course of the game, the initially weak Frankfurters get better and better – and deserve the equalizer!
83. Minute: Kolo Muani takes a cross from Alidou and slams the ball into the near corner from nine yards out. The 1:1 for Frankfurt!
It’s the 13th goal of the season for the Frenchman! In addition, Frankfurt missed two hundred percent chances to score in the second half.
Sports director Markus Krösche (42): “That’s two lost points. We just don’t reward ourselves for the effort we put in. It’s absolutely sickening.”
The Frankfurt crisis continues. Eintracht remains without a win in the seventh game in a row. In this period there were only four points – the worst result of all Bundesliga clubs.
► According to Fanhilfe Mönchengladbach, a three-digit number of Gladbach fans could not go to the stadium because the police stopped an S-Bahn from Mainz and checked the fans. The background is said to have been a dispute between Mainz and Gladbach fans on a train between Cologne and Mainz.
