Mönchengladbach (dpa) - Marco Rose, despite the increasingly worsening crisis of Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Mönchengladbach, remains undeterred, at least to the outside world.
“This is not a new situation for me,” said the coach, who moved to Dortmund and who recently lost seven competitive games with Borussia: “I played with Lok Leipzig for a year in the fourth division against relegation under conditions that were not easy.
It was also a traditional club with a lot of fans. "
Of course, the current situation is “not pleasant.
Defeat never feels good, "said Rose (44):" But no later than the third day after, actually on the second, the feeling is there again that we want to tackle it, to turn the thing again.
Every game is a chance to stop the carousel.
It is important that, as a coach, I go ahead and ignore the surrounding areas.
And I believe that I am doing this job quite well. "
With another defeat on Saturday (6.30 p.m. / Sky) against the bottom of the table, FC Schalke 04, Rose would set Wolf Werner's club record.
Meanwhile, manager Max Eberl is still looking towards Europe despite seven points behind in sixth place and would also accept a qualification for the new Conference League, which is viewed critically in many places.
“In general, Europe is always a worthwhile destination,” said Eberl: “Every competition is fantastic for me.
You can see the Conference League a little more critically, but when people talk about the third division, I find that disrespectful. "

Missing out on European business would meanwhile have no financial consequences for the club.
"We have been planning without Europe for years," said Eberl.
