Stefan Lainer has lost his regular role under Daniel Farke. The Gladbach coach refers to Joe Scally and gives Lainer hope.
Under Daniel Farke, Stefan Lainer had to cope with the difficult step from almost permanently set regular player to bench presser. Although the coach also praises teammate Joe Scally, he encourages the Austrian.
“Get out of the way” – the women’s soccer podcast of 90 minutes.
The Bundesliga starts into the new season and we deliver the big preview. Be sure to listen.
Stefan Lainer is already in his fourth season at Gladbach. His previous three seasons were mainly characterized by his role as a regular. Both under Marco Rose and under Adi Hütter: the Austrian always played on the right side, as long as he was ready for action.
Under the leadership of Daniel Farke, however, a completely different picture emerges: Of the seven competitive games so far, Lainer has only played twice – and each time for two short substitutions.
To date, the coach has preferred to rely on Joe Scally, who also justifies the trust with good performances.
Farke emphasizes Scally’s “very good” job – and gives Lainer more hope
“Joe is doing very well in that position, especially defensively,” Farke explained his choice. that he loud picture also in the top game against RB Leipzig and thus against Marco Rose, the sponsor of Lainer of all things, will again rely on the 19-year-old is a further sign.
Nevertheless, the Borussia coach does not move away from Lainer. On the contrary: He continues to build it up and indicates imminent deployment times.
“Steve is always a top alternative for the starting XI. I’m absolutely delighted to have him with his mentality in my team. He’s played under every coach so far and I’m sure he’ll still get a lot of minutes of play with me will,” says Farke.
He also explained that as a national player, he got into preparation a little later. That was a disadvantage compared to the competition, primarily Scally. In addition, a knee injury recently threw him back a bit.
“But now he’s doing really well in training again,” continued Farke to ensure confidence. He also emphasized: “I really appreciate Stefan as a professional, his reliability and solidity.”
Because Gladbach does not have any additional international pressure this season and therefore does not have to rotate as often, Lainer will have to be patient. But sooner or later he will get his chance. Then the 30-year-old from Salzburg will be able – and have to – prove himself.
