📈 Gladbach star on season’s turning point: something special grew

Borussia Mönchengladbach has really picked up speed after a more than just bumpy start to the season: five competitive matches without a defeat, including four wins—Borussia is back on track.

Midfielder Yannik Engelhardt identified a clear turning point in the season in an interview with 'Bild': "We had defensive problems at the beginning. That has now stabilized. I think it really started to get better with the Bayern match. Something has grown together there, and we definitely have to preserve that."

On Friday against RB Leipzig, the Foals also showed that they believe in themselves again. Engelhardt’s conclusion: "We’re happy to take the point, but there was actually a bit more in it for us."

Two controversial decisions that were overturned by VAR could easily have given Gladbach the win as well.

But that’s in the past. Now, all eyes are on Tuesday, when they face St. Pauli in the DFB-Pokal. "The cup is always cool. We want to win again," Engelhardt stated confidently.
