Things aren’t going so well for both 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach. FC have been without a win for five Bundesliga games (never longer under coach Steffen Baumgart), Borussia for four (longer than ever under coach Daniel Farke). Gladbach coach Farke now takes a position.
Question: Cologne is currently the weakest team in the league – so can Gladbach fans plan a party like the 5-2 win in the first leg?
Daniel Farke: Cologne’s form is irrelevant, it could even trigger a reaction of defiance. But we know exactly what this duel means for the souls of our fans. And we’ve already shown this season that we can pull off very special performances on such festive days, whether it’s against Cologne, Bayern or Dortmund.
Question: But how can it be that your team hasn’t added a single win after these festive days? What does that say about the mentality of your squad?
