Lucien Favre breaks his silence

Lucien Favre has released the following statement through his agent:


I am not proud about what happened at Borussia , but after doing so well that season and seeing the President sell our best player like that made me very angry. Marco was and will be for some time the best player that Gladbach Fans will see for many years. What has happened has happened and now Im looking for a new club and would happily take three jobs I have been offered one in Austria and two in Poland , I will probably take the one in Poland at the second division club as they have supported me through this sticky period.

The New manager hasn't done anything that will impress the fans yet and selling Zimmermann was a massive mistake I hope he regrets that and pays for it with his job. I don’t understand the logic of employing a manager that got a 4th division English relegated at Gladbach, it isn’t fair on the players or supporters and that is why I won’t be attending any further games while Didi is in charge. His summer transfers that he has brought in are very poor Ibe and Yesil are just kids to add to the already very young squad and Hutchinson doesn’t look like a good enough player for the league. All I’m going to say is this will be a very hard year for Gladbach and their fans and I’d be surprised if Didi is still there this time next year

Marco Reus



J- Otto Mestiens
MR- Marco Reus

J- Who are you settling in at Dortmund?

MR-Hmmm," he hums with a smile. "It's hard to say if it was a statement. I just felt this is the best-supported team with players who work well together under a great coach. Players don't come and go as often as they do at Bayern. It's the same with the manager. I felt there would be more stability and consistency here. It was the best place for me, and I was coming home."

J- What do you think of Lucien Flavre’s Comments?

MR- Flavre was a very good manager to me, he always supported me and helped me improve my game and I will always remember him as he was the man that improved my game and he gave me the key to join Dortmund. However his comments weren’t appropriate for the climate and all I can say is that I feel sorry for the new manager and the fans, he wasn’t helped the new manager and all I can say on the matter Is that Didi is a top footballer and hopefully he can lead Gladbach to safety and continental success.


J- Do you have a message for the Gladbach Fans?

MR- they are the best fans in the world and I have unfinished business with them and hopefully one day I will go back

Patrick Herrmann: The Latest

Patrick Herrmann has today announced that he wants to leave the club to pursue his career at a higher level and challenge himself more like Marco Reus did this summer. Herrmann” Gladbach has been a great stepping stone but now I need to move on and force my way into the national squad , to this I need to be playing Champions league football regularly and with a team of players that reflect league winners not just a team that jumps between divison”

Christian Ziegler” The club has rejected Patrick’s request and he will be a Gladbach player until the end of his contract and hopefully by then he will want to say, until then the club has nothing else to say on the matter”

These comments will be met with laughter by Lucien Favre as the ex-boss predicted the leaving of star players if Didi didn’t do very well.



September Suprises

The month started well for Didi with a 2-0 win over Dortmund thanks to a double from Mike Hanke, however off the field revelations concerning Patrick Herrmann ruined the win as the 21 year old wanted to force a move to a bigger club. Then former manager Lucien released a stunning attack on Didi saying he wouldn’t last the season.
The following game Lucien’s words looked to rile Didi and his team as they lost 2-0 against Mainz thanks to goals from Sliskovic and Baumgartlinger. Three days later Didi’s men rallied together and beat Bayern 1-0 thanks to Luuk De Jong’s solo strike leading them to their second win in third games a big improvement on August’s form. The following Saturday Gladbach beat Hamburg 2-0 with goals from Hanke his third in five games and Alvaro’s Dominguez’s first goal for the club. The last game of the season saw Gladbach travel to Bremen knowing a win would take them a both our hosts and sadly drew 1-1 with De Jong’s strike being cancelled out by Nils Peterson a summer signing from Bayern Munich leaving the club 6th in the league.





Gladbach played two European games this month losing one and winning one in their first game away at Valencia they lost 2-1 as goals from Sergio Canales and Ever Banega saw Gladbach get beat however a consolation goal from de Jong gave the visitors hope but De Jong and co couldn’t find the equaliser.In the first home game in Europe at the Borussia-Park Gladbach marked it with a 1-0 win against Juventus thanks to a goal by Juan Arango. Gladbach are 3rd in the group on goal difference.


Didi” This month has been a lot better than August many thanks to the team being behind me and ignoring the comments of Lucien however there are one or two players that still think they are better than the club and they will be dealt with internally they know who they are and should put the club before their future if they are good enough on the pitch the offers will come and if the price is too high to resist they will be sold, that is the end of that matter. Hanke, de Jong and Arango have been real professionals this month and all credit must go to them while some of the young players should start following their example.”
Like the update mate! And the way you make the league more cartoon like is really cool :)
Is this FM13 Handheld?



October’s Revolution


Didi”4 wins out of six games has been a very good month for the club. I was especially impressed with the game against Valencia where we won 4-0 to take us top of the group thanks to goals from Arango De Jong and Ring. The 5-0 win against Dusseldorf was very promising as was the 2-1 comeback against Galatasary thanks to Wendt and Herremann, contract discussions are being resolved eventually. The 4-0 defeat to Bayern was very disappointing especially as I though we could win the Cup but they are the best team in Germany at the moment and the 1-0 loss at Hannover was very unfortunate we dominated the play for 88 minutes and one referring decision cost us the game”

Yes
Brilliant i love your skin where did you get that


Here is our first interview, of course it had to be with Luuk de Jong who is proving every penny of his 15 Million Euros Price Tag:

The former Twente striker Luuk de Jong was brought in for 15 million Euros.
Here is what he had to say about his new club, his goals and living in Germany when BMG interviewed him earlier.

BMG: Have you found your way already?
Luuk de Jong: Everything is wonderful! I have been received well. And in Roel Brouwers I have a Dutchman as my room-mate, who is making it much easier for me to find my way.

BMG: You are losing your nightly sleep due to Roel Brouwers snoring according to our information. True?
Luuk de Jong: Well, as a matter of fact I have woken up a couple of times, because of it. But, I don’t care. He is really helping me a lot. Especially in terms of learning German.

BMG: So, he is your German teacher?
Luuk de Jong: He, and especially German TV. Watching a lot of telly really helps…

BMG: Why on earth have you chosen to join Borussia?
Luuk de Jong: My dad was in Gladbach a couple of times, and he waxed lyrical about training conditions, the stadium and the fans. The city is only 1.5 hours away from my home town Doetinchem. I am a family person, I need to be surrounded by my friends. I’m searching for a house that I can rent in Gladbach, however. Commuting back and forth would be too annoying.

BMG: Are you actually as good as your predecessor Marco Reus, who has joined Dortmund? He scored 18 goals last season.
Luuk de Jong: Marco scored 18 goals last season, which is a great achievement. But, I’m striker and I certainly want to score. Predicting the amount of goals I’m going to score is difficult, because it is my first season.

BMG: Is it easier to score goals in the Netherlands?
Luuk de Jong: Certainly! The standard isn’t as good as in Germany. Every game is a first class match in the Bundesliga.

BMG: Your fellow Dutchman Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has found his way in Germany, and was the league’s top scorer last season. Are you going to be the ”new Huntelaar” of the Bundesliga?
Luuk de Jong: Pah, that is a mean question! Klaas is a fantastic striker, the best poacher in Germany. I would love to score as frequently and be as good as him for sure. But, I’m only 21 years old, and I can learn a lot from him in terms of his technique, his movement and his ruthlessness in front of goal.

BMG: Would you prefer to be crowned champion, or to be the league’s top scorer?
Luuk de Jong: Hello? Champion? That is too much to hope for at the moment. I’d gladly give up being the league’s top scorer if it mean that we’d be topping the table.

BMG : So, Gladbach haven’t got what it takes to win the title?
Luuk de Jong: The club has taken the next step towards the top with its transfers. But, we should stay realistic! Maybe we’ll be able to win a title during the next five seasons. I haven’t signed until 2017 without any long-term goals in sight…

BMG: You could be crowned World Cup champion with the Netherlands in 2014…
Luuk de Jong: Loads of stuff can happen before 2014. But, it is my goal to become a regular in the Dutch national team set-up. I consider it to be an advantage that our coach wants to build a side around younger players.

BMG: In what regard is living Germany better than living in the Netherlands?
Luuk de Jong: The Autobahn, for sure! You are able to drive as quickly as you want in Germany. I’m currently driving a VW, but I’ll be buying a new car very soon. I don’t know which car I’ll purchase, all I know is that I’ll be able to drive a lot faster then.
