Max Eberl was also happy after Gladbach’s win in Munich. However, the manager explicitly did not want to overdo it – and gave Bayern high praise.
Was Gladbach’s 2-1 win at Bayern deserved or not? Max Eberl delivered a diplomatic verdict on the question, the answer to which Gladbach coach Adi Hütter and Bayern’s Thomas Müller had different opinions. “We earned the victory today to a certain extent, whether it is completely deserved can be left open,” the manager said on Sat.1. “We invested very, very much, tried to press Bayern high. “
That’s how they earned three important points in a game that Bayern would have liked to postpone due to a number of absences. “It was great fair play from Bayern that they asked to postpone the game, but then played and did everything they could to ensure they had a strong squad. Accordingly, I have great respect for the fact that they pulled the game off,” Eberl praised the opponents, but added honestly: “Of course it’s easier for me now because we won.
Eberl: “This must give us energy “
It was already the second win in a row against Bayern and the fourth in the Bundesliga at the Allianz Arena – no team had ever managed that before. After just one point from five games and some bitter defeats before Christmas, it was a liberating blow for Gladbach and the perfect start to the second half of the season. “This has to give us energy and confidence, which we have lost a bit,” Eberl hopes.
Borussia had recently come very close to the relegation zone – and now wants to leave it far behind again as quickly as possible. “You can also work your psyche back, that’s what we did today, in the first step,” said Eberl, but remained emphatically on the carpet: “I’m not one to climb into the sky now. Yes, we got an important win, but we have to move on.” Next Saturday comes Bayer Leverkusen.
