A 0: 0 Football is initially always an unsatisfactory end result. Simple, because the missing what makes this sport. But it is also an ambivalent result, it leaves open all possible interpretation options. Reporters then make do like, by either a “0: 0 the better sort” “: 0 of 0 bad sort” talk or a. This 0: therefore was 0 Borussia Mönchengladbach at Juventus a 0: 0 the better and worse sort.
It was an evening which showed how the Moenchengladbach have improved compared to the beginning of the season. And the same time made clear what the team of yet-interim coach André Schubert into an international-class team is still missing.
“We have thrown everything we have defended sensationally”, Lars Stindl accounted for the game – and that was an analysis, probably the Juve fans would not disagree. The Borussia have conceded 16 goals in their seven competitive games before Schubert, which fell 13 results out of game situations. Since then they have completed six more matches and caught only a single goal from the game. All other goals were scored by penalty. Only Manchester City has again managed to play off the defense so that it becomes a gateway has been created.
Much of the highly acclaimed Double Six from Granit Xhaka and Mo Dahoud owe. What it goes down a little, is the work done by the young Andreas Christensen several weeks in central defense. The Dane, who has come to the Glad Bachern pre-season loan from Chelsea, deputizing for the injured defender Martin Stranzl for an hour very convincing. Christensen is only 19 years young, so he is as old as the veteran Stranzl (35) in about half.
And yet it is the youngster, who is currently the far more experienced Alvaro Dominguez pulls along in the coverage. Dominguez, who not for the first time allowed himself a fatal misfire, the crowd shortly before the break, tried to iron out those with a challenge and was lucky to have escaped with a yellow card, which he himself “orange” called.
Juventus, after all, a finalist of the Champions League last season, did not come with sturdy defensive cope any case, sometimes three Gladbacher pounced on the ball carrier Italians who characterized hardly came to opportunities and self-produced turnovers again , “We have earned this point honestly”, was Granit Xhaka, who had his usual yellow card this time canceled up to 77 minutes.
Forward worked in interaction little
So strong on the defensive, however, as the game was in deficit Gladbach forward. Combining tests from the defense in the attack petered out mostly just behind the center line, in the second half, no appreciable relief more took place. Raffael, Ibrahima Traoré and Stindl, all rather delicate stature, got no tricks against the wardrobes from Piedmont, against Bonuccis, Chiellinis and Pogbas. The coolness in front of goal penalty area, they currently ranges against Eintracht Frankfurt, Stuttgart and against FC Augsburg. But in order to play through to the defense of Juve artists, lacked the necessary tick.
Nevertheless, the Borussia scored the first point in the group phase, and thus preserved the slim chances of progressing, which could not be foreseen four weeks. “We have arrived in the Champions League now,” said sporting director Max Eberl the word Wednesday.
Whether the coach is now finally arrived after this next succès d’estime in the Borussia, which made Eberl open in the evening. At least he moved away from his previous Junktim that André Schubert is booked in any case, only for the transition. Suddenly it was said that one negotiating given the “outstanding work” Schubert’s currently no other coach. That Schubert could stay, Eberl had “never categorically excluded”. Had he indeed already, but there is currently little actual reasons the coach to refuse a longer chance.
We know Schubert not know if he is also a crisis-proof trainer that he had not yet prove, fortunately for the club. Successful results are in football happens to be the best arguments, and a point in Turin is a successful outcome. For Schubert it would be in any case a 0: 0 the best varieties have been.
