THE GREAT SUMMIT AROUND MARCO ROSE.
222 days after the official change announcement, Gladbach and Rose (45) meet again. 25,000 fans are in Borussiapark.
Gladbach’s supporters have to wait a long time for their ex-trainer. Rose stays in the catacombs until shortly before kick-off. When he enters the square, there is the expected whistle concert.
Reason: Gladbach fans are still disappointed and upset about Rose’s departure. On February 15, it became known that the coach is withdrawing his release clause (5 million euros) and moving to Dortmund. He had spoken to Gladbach weeks earlier about his plans for success.
Michael Weigand (44) from Gladbach’s “Supporters Club” had already announced in SPORT BILD: “We fans noticed that we were being duped and fooled by him. We really thought there could be an emotional bond between Marco Rose and the club. Shortly afterwards everything was smoke and mirrors. “
Even Gladbach manager Max Eberl (48) recently declared: “In the end, you have to say that he did not necessarily live the identification he preached at the beginning to the same extent …”
Eberl: “I understand the fans who want to show their displeasure. In Germany there is freedom of expression, you can do that. I wish that we don’t just get into this guerrilla war. “
Sky expert Lothar Matthäus (60) had fought for leniency for Rose in BILD: “I would like a friendly applause for him. Because he has written an international success story with Gladbach. And like me, he has not broken a contract. ”
Dortmund surprisingly without the ailing Erling Haaland (68 goals in 67 BVB games / muscular problems and captain Marco Reus (capsule irritation in the knee).
Rose on Sky: “The final training yesterday was a bit turbulent. We rotated overnight. This morning it was clear that it would no longer work at Erling. He tried everything to be able to play. But we are not allowed to burn Erling when he is young. Marco Reus came up wrong in training. “
