One might think that there would be a certain upswing at Borussia Mönchengladbach after the dismissal of Gerardo Seoane and the promotion of Eugen Polanski. After all, they managed to fight back to a draw against Bayer Leverkusen after being 0:1 down.
However, Mario Basler was less convinced by Gladbach's last performance in his podcast 'Basler ballert', only finding sobering words for Gladbach's situation: "Despite the change of coach, they won't move much further up. They have to get used to the lower table region." Optimism looks different.
According to Basler, the trigger for this current situation was the sale of Alassane Plea: "After they sold Plea, which I still don't understand to this day, they have to hope and wait for Kleindienst."
It's going to be a tough season for Borussia, the club urgently needs to get back on track, Basler concludes his analysis. It remains to be seen whether the game against Leverkusen was a final can opener for Borussia's turnaround or whether Basler will be proven right with his harsh criticism.
