Tik dabar suvokiau, kad Werder, HSV ir Schalke vienu metu trinasi 2 po šimts kalakutų ir neatrodo, kad visos sugrįš šiemet.
Tai kažką ne taip daro, kad mažiukai be fanų bazės ir akademijų duoda jiems į kaulus.falci wrote: ↑23 Jan 2022, 16:42Tik dabar suvokiau, kad Werder, HSV ir Schalke vienu metu trinasi 2 po velnių ir neatrodo, kad visos sugrįš šiemet.
Man kaip tik norėtųsi, kad visi maži klubai eitų žemyn iš po velnių, Bielefield, Bochum, gal net ir Augsburg. Jie neturi potencialo, neturi fanų bazės, didelio miesto ir t.t.. Iš principo silpnina po velnių. Tai tokie kaip Stuttgart kur turi viską + neblogą akademiją turi likti. Ir dar tie grybai iš po velnių 2 pagaliau galėtų susitvarkyt ir pargrįžt. Nes HSV jei gerai pamenu jau 2 sezonus ten trinasi.
Tai to nekvestionuoju. Visi 3 minėti klubai dirbo apgailėtinai ir tendencingai nesėkmingai 5+ metų. Stuttgart lyg rebuildinosi, bet šiemet vėl laviruoja ant ribos.kokos wrote: ↑23 Jan 2022, 19:36Tai kažką ne taip daro, kad mažiukai be fanų bazės ir akademijų duoda jiems į kaulus.falci wrote: ↑23 Jan 2022, 16:42Tik dabar suvokiau, kad Werder, HSV ir Schalke vienu metu trinasi 2 po velnių ir neatrodo, kad visos sugrįš šiemet.

So now the time has come: after more than 14 years as sporting director, Max Eberl is leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach. This marks the end of what feels like a century with the panther among football managers. It is almost exactly 100 years ago that Rainer Maria Rilke wrote his poem about the animal in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Today it should serve as a symbol for Max Eberl's departure from Borussia.
Eberl looked tired in the press conference before Borussia's DFB Cup game against Hannover 96, which was expressed through a passive-aggressive appearance. The sports director was rarely seen so monosyllabically and irritably. There were certainly several reasons for this: the lack of sporting success in the past year, the difficult composition of the squad, the transfer market and self-inflicted unrest within the club. Eberl was a level-headed, but also a decisive sports director. One who usually hit the table at the right time and doesn't shy away from publicly criticizing his own fans. This has happened more often lately. Whether rightly so or not is still to be discussed. What everyone saw: The inner calm slowly but surely got lost after Hecking's resignation.
Max Eberl must have felt like he was in captivity at times. Certainly not in his own club, where he has earned almost all the freedom and unlimited trust. He was trapped in the system of the "small Gallic village on the Lower Rhine" from which he acted competently and smartly. Even in the more successful days, the financial possibilities in Gladbach were still miles away from those of the direct competition from Leipzig, Dortmund, Leverkusen and others. But Max Eberl can find something great - talent. Marco Reus or Granit Xhaka were sold for much more money after years at Borussia. But also creative transfers of seasoned players like Raffael and Martin Stranzl prove Max Eberl's skills. When courting talent and trying to keep it, the native Bavarian often had to admit defeat to big money. Publicly one spoke then of the associated sporting perspective. It was and is an endless fight that always ended on the same bars of the cage.
Again and again the panther crept from the Lower Rhine through the republic and all of Europe. Together with his team around Steffen Korell, he looked for and signed new talents and players with high potential. The expression "a typical Eberl transfer" describes his special kind of player signing: one that just makes perfect sense from start to finish. He seems to be observing his player for a long time in order to then quickly and confidently convince them of the Gladbacher way at the right time. Max Kruse for EUR 2.5 million and Lars Stindl for EUR 3 million are just two examples. Granit Xhaka, who increased his market value tenfold at Borussia, is another. And then?Rinse and repeat.
Eberl's great will to do exactly that again and again was palpable to the end. Borussia Mönchengladbach decided to go this route – to use transfer income for their own financing – and it should be followed through. Only sometimes there are factors that even Max Eberl cannot control. Insidious agents with abnormal salary expectations or players who feel called to higher things. And there is a pandemic that is eating up stadium revenue and turning the transfer market upside down. All of this has made it much more difficult for Max Eberl in recent years. To put it bluntly: if nobody leaves, nobody new can come either. And nobody went - the outcome of this calculation should be known. Meanwhile, the competition from Wolfsburg is already making millions of transfers during the winter break. Leipzig's liabilities to players magically disappear. The competition seems inevitable.
Max Eberl always had an image of Borussia. Borussia should be modern, able to act and well managed in terms of sport. The infrastructure around Borussia Park was expanded under his leadership and the financial supervision of Stephan Schippers. A hotel with an integrated rehabilitation center and medical practice was created. New jobs were created. The Gallic village increased its foundation. However, one thing always came first for Borussia: staying independent.
But is Borussia independent? Financially, theoretically yes. And that has a price that the club accepts. Has Borussia perhaps made itself dependent on a man who has not scored a goal in his playing career. That remains to be seen.
When Marco Rose's departure to Dortmund was announced, Eberl said "No one is above the club". But it almost seems as if that hasn't been the case in recent years. I agree with him, nobody is above Borussia. But he always stood by and for Borussia. Foal may never become a buffalo, but a panther lived peacefully among the foals.
I owe a lot to Max Eberl. I screamed through the living room at the win over Bochum, celebrated unbelievable victories against Bayern, saw an unstoppable Raffael dribbling, went to Rome for the away game and had tears in my eyes when Granit Xhaka left. He was never a risk man and when he started taking that with Marco Rose, the fall began. The names Raiola, Schaller and a few others have played their part. I will miss you, but every ending is also a new beginning.
Florian Neuhaus suffered a partial rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament injury during yesterday's draw against Freiburg, while Ko Itakura suffered a partial rupture to his medial collateral ligament in training. Surgery is not required but the pair will be out for the foreseeable.
