The “top game” Gladbach against Hertha BSC is also about the jobs of the two coaches Adi Hütter (52) and Tayfun Korkut (47).
But before the kick-off, it was not just about the sporting situation of the two crisis clubs. As a rule, only those responsible for sport speak before a match, this time differently in Gladbach.
Unusual that women players give a live interview before a game. The wife of defense star Matthias Ginter (28), Christina, spoke on the Sky microphone about a great campaign by Borussia Mönchengladbach and the Matthias Ginter Foundation.
Because under the leadership of the foundation, the wives and girlfriends of the Borussia pros collected donations in kind for the Ukraine at the home game against Hertha on Saturday, which are then to be taken to the war zone by truck.
Christina Ginter: “We both came up with the idea, then approached Gladbach and they thought the idea was a good one too.”
The foundation’s fundraiser can also be followed on the organization’s Instagram account.
In terms of sport, the “Entlassico” is one of the most explosive games of the season. At Korkut, the situation is pretty clear: if the Berliners, who are still without a win in 2022, lose again, Korkut has to go.
Since taking over after the 13th matchday at the end of November, he has only scored nine points in twelve games with 13:31 goals – the worst record of any Bundesliga club in this period.
The situation is a little more complicated for Hütter: If the Austrian loses from the couch (he has Corona, Assi Peintinger represents him), a possible expulsion is also about the “B grade”.
The sporting record for the Europe-ambitious club with the fifth highest budget is disastrous: There were only nine points from the last 13 games. Hard to believe, but that’s even worse than Hertha…
Especially bitter for Gladbachs Hütter: Because of a corona infection, Gladbach coach Adi Hütter can only follow the relegation hit against Hertha from the couch at home. He is represented by assistant coach Christian Peintinger
