Tenth defeat in a row, only one point after the first third of the season: SpVgg Greuther Fürth is following in the footsteps of Tasmania Berlin after the 4-0 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
After the tenth defeat in a row, Stefan Leitl found it difficult to pull anything positive out of the 0: 4 (0: 3) defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach. The long-suffering coach of SpVgg Greuther Fürth tried anyway.
“If you go into the break with 0: 3 and then don’t go under completely, that’s pretty good. We were able to keep it within limits,” said the coach of the bottom line after the one-sided game at Borussia-Park.
The national players Jonas Hofmann (9th / 57th) and Florian Neuhaus (28th) as well as Alassane Plea (43rd) scored for the highly superior Borussia, which after the mandatory victory can look towards the European Cup again. “Gladbach was superior to us in all areas,” Leitl had to acknowledge.
The balance of the Franks is more and more reminiscent of the horror season of Tasmania Berlin in 1965/66. Tasmania had then, like later, 1. FC Nürnberg (1983/84) and Arminia Bielefeld (1999/00) also conceded ten bankruptcies in a row within one season, all three were relegated in the end. Fürth’s promotion coach Leitl had recently received a job guarantee from manager Rachid Azzouzi, even beyond the season, despite the downward trend.

Adi Hütter (coach Borussia Mönchengladbach): “It was an absolutely deserved victory, and the sovereignty was very good. We left a few chances in the first half. Jonas Hofmann is currently full of self-confidence. He is an absolute key player in our team.”
Stefan Leitl (coach SpVgg Greuther Fürth): “Today we played against an opponent who was simply superior to us in all areas. You could see that from the first minute. That’s why we deservedly lost.
