After a poor 2021/2022 season, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s second team has also started the 2022/2023 series negatively. The coach is angry.

Two defeats against the promoted 1. FC Kaan-Marienborn (1:2) and 1. FC Düren (0:1) as well as a 3:3 draw against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen: these are the results of Borussia Mönchengladbach U23 in the Regionalliga West so far.

After the miserable pre-season, new coach Eugen Polanski had actually issued the motto to do better. But it doesn’t look that way at the moment. After the 1-0 defeat against Düren, the former Bundesliga professional said: “If we don’t manage to use one of our many chances, we must at least be clever enough to take the point. But he also added: “The boys have seen that the football we want to play works. We just have to score the goals. “

It seemed to me that the match was more of a duty for my team. I expect more will, enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the game.

According to Polanski, Gladbach’s football did anything but work in a test match just a few days later. Despite a 5:1 victory over TSV Wachtendonk-Wankum, the 36-year-old was anything but satisfied with the performance against the Landesliga team.

Polanski was annoyed: “I couldn’t care less about the result today. The way we played was lousy and doesn’t satisfy me. You can see that one or the other player definitely still needs something.” And he went on to criticise: “It looked to me as if the match was more of a duty for my team. I expect more will, enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the game.”

The next opportunity to satisfy the coach will be on Sunday (14 August). Starting at 2 p.m., the second team of Fortuna Düsseldorf will be playing at the Grenzlandstadion.
