Borussia Mönchengladbach's Coach Gerardo Seoane remains optimistic about his team's progress, despite a late setback in their 3-3 draw against SC Freiburg. Seoane believes they're still in the early stages of their development, with plenty of room for improvement. The team's defence showed marked improvement in their English week, particularly in the face of the 3-1 derby defeat against 1. FC Köln.
After the struggling start to their 2025 campaign, Gladbach had bounced back with a home victory over newly promoted 1. FC Heidenheim in the league and another win in the cup. Seoane is pleased with the team's possession play, deeming their performances in those three games as positive. Sporting director Nils Schmadte shares this sentiment, noting the team's growth.
The manager expressed concerns over Jordan Siebatcheu's injury during the SC Freiburg match. Siebatcheu, who scored Gladbach's first goal, had to be substituted due to a muscular issue. Seoane is unsure if this is a serious injury or just a precautionary measure, with further examinations set to provide clarity.
Despite the late draw in their Bundesliga fixture, Gladbach maintained their positive form in their English week. They will aim to build on this momentum in their next Bundesliga game against Freiburg's rivals, Borussia Mönchengladbach. Known for their consistent performances in the Bundesliga's top tier, Gladbach regularly challenge for Champions League spots.
Despite the sparse mention of specific defensive improvements in official sources, Seoane's coaching has arguably contributed to better defensive displays and a turnaround in their possession play. However, the team still faces challenges in securing away victories and maintaining consistency in their performances.
