At Borussia Mönchengladbach, fans and team have come together again. Lars Stindl emphasizes the importance of this good relationship.
In the final stretch of the past season, the relationship between fans and the Borussia Mönchengladbach team was as good as broken. Thanks to the positive start and fresh wind, the important relationship shines again.
“No fight, no will, no character – you are a disgrace to the city and the club.” A fan banner that showed how bad the relationship between fans and players was in the second half of the season. In the midst of a sporting crisis that could ultimately be turned around for the better, the supporters only found their team “ridiculous”.
With the end of the old season and the beginning of the new one, Borussia have vowed to start again together. The bad mood was too dangerous. Both for general support, especially in the stadium, and for the feel-good factor of the players.
Stindl is happy about the positive fan relationship: “We’re all starting over”
Now we can celebrate together again. What is due on the one hand to the positive results and on the other hand to a new sense of togetherness is an important and early achievement. This is also due to Daniel Farke. Right from the start of the preparation, the trainer relied on open communication with the fans and, for example, many public training sessions.
The Fohlenelf has been able to make good use of the resulting spirit of optimism so far. Lars Stindl also sees this turnaround. The captain opposite picture: “We had a lot of talks before the 34th game against Hoffenheim, and that was when we got closer.”
“Before the season we said to each other, we’re all starting over and now the relationship is really good – but of course we have to underpin that with performance and really get consistency now,” he continued.
Striking: Gladbach is particularly successful with the fan support behind them. They are currently leading the home table with twelve points from five home games. No other team has managed to score twelve goals at home.
A completely different tone can also be heard on social networks. Another cornerstone for the good mood was the 5:2 derby victory on Sunday. A doubly pleasing victory, especially for the supporters.
