Now he seems to have finally arrived!
Robin Hack (25) made his starting eleven debut for VfL in the 3-1 win in the cup against Heidenheim. He took advantage of his chance – and thus created a new pecking order in Borussia’s offensive line.

The 1.78 meter tall Hack was not known as a proven header monster so far in his career. In the professional game, the 3-0 win shortly before half-time was only his third goal with a header. Rather, he appeared as a standard specialist in his previous positions. He showed this strength with his precise corner to Jordan Siebatcheu (27) for the early lead (3rd).

In the newly formed 4-3-3, Hack played on the left wing. From there he often moved into the middle, so Heidenheim’s defense could never catch him. In addition to the two goals, he provided the most assists for a shot of any player (3). A top game from the midfielder and rightly BILD grade 1!
But he had to wait a long time for this moment in the Gladbach dress. Although he thrived in preparation, he found himself on the bench in the first competitive cup game against Bersenbrück (7-0). This is where he came from in his previous seven Bundesliga appearances for VfL. Along with Nathan Ngoumou (23), Hack was one of Gerardo Seoane’s (45) system victims. Hack’s favorite position is on the tenth, which does not exist in the 3-5-2 that the Swiss has played in recent weeks. Now Hack was allowed to play on the left wing – and passed the matriculation test. With his performance he puts the competitors around Alassane Plea (30) and Franck Honorat (27), but also Florian Neuhaus (26) under pressure.
Manager Roland Virkus (56) about the entry: “We have told Robin again and again that he will earn his place in the starting line-up through short substitutions. He had some good substitutions and deserved his appearance. Robin showed today that he can play at this level.”
Hack’s counterpart on the right, Ngoumou, also impressed with an assist and many quick dribbles. Seoane said about the two when asked by BILD: “Especially in the first half, we had good positional play as a team, with Robin on the left wing and with Nathan on the right. Both players broke up the one-on-one situations well and were dangerous in the box. I was very happy with the wing pliers in the first half.”

Hack not only recommended more playing time, but also for a starting eleven on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) in Freiburg.
