Mainz (AP) - Liverpool FC with master coach Jürgen Klopp is Borussia Mönchengladbach's preferred opponent in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Sports director Max Eberl revealed this on Saturday evening in the ZDF's “Current Sports Studio” and also justified this.
“We have now played two teams, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, who also have a history with Borussia Mönchengladbach, have a history.
And if you take the list of clubs, then Liverpool is the third club with which Gladbach has a great history, ”said Eberl.
"Accordingly, we would all like Liverpool."
The eighth-final pairings of the premier class will be drawn next Monday.
The pandemic not only hit football hard, said Eberl.
«Corona hits us all - society, companies, in retail, all businesses, including football.
And you have to bring that closer to people, ”demanded the 47-year-old.
"Our club has been working on emergency power since mid-March and is trying to really secure everything on the right and left so that we can go into the future," said the Gladbach sports director.
The first "easy lockdown" wasn't really taken seriously, said Eberl.
«And then we all have to grab our own nose.
Politics gave us the chance, we didn't take it. "
But football does not want “any extra sausage”.
Eberl: "We hope that we can continue playing and so far have not received any signals from politics that it is different."
