Borussia Mönchengladbach Struggles Continue in Bundesliga

Ongoing Winless Streak

Borussia Mönchengladbach faced another setback with their latest defeat away at Freiburg, marking their seventh consecutive match without a win in the Bundesliga. Under the leadership of Eugen Polanski, the team is now slipping down towards the lower end of the rankings. With 11 matches remaining in the 2025/26 season, Gladbach is currently just two points clear of the promotion-relegation playoff zone.

Post-Match Reflections

“It’s challenging for me to extend my congratulations, Julian,” Polanski expressed while addressing Julian Schuster, his counterpart after the match. “Naturally, we are incredibly disappointed with the loss. The truth is, we did lose, and that weighs heavily on me.”

Polanski further commented, “We took too much time in our attacking movements. There were several occasions where we hesitated to deliver crosses into the penalty area. We need to show more determination and decisiveness in our play. At this stage, I would gladly accept a scrappy win.”

Confidence in the Team

When asked about the training efforts made by the coaching staff throughout the week, Polanski stated, “If I didn’t have faith in the players, I wouldn’t feel this disappointment now. I refuse to sugarcoat the situation. Whether through good performances or poor, we need to earn points.”

Polanski emphasized during the press conference and his post-match interview with DAZN, “Our position in the table is concerning. We all understand the situation we are in.”

Support from Management

In the mixed zone, Polanski’s superior, Schröder, assured, “Eugen has my complete trust. He is fully committed to guiding the team in the right direction. I observe his dedication daily. It’s not solely on him; the players must apply themselves as well. Everyone has their part to contribute.”

Schröder added, “No one here is taking this situation lightly. We still have 11 matches ahead. I am hopeful that we will accomplish our goal of staying in the league. We simply need to improve our crossing and instill more confidence in ourselves.”
