Unwinding at BVB: "These Ain't Been Easy Days"
Sebastian Kehl let out a sigh of relief after Borussia Dortmund managed to snatch a hard-fought 4:2 (3:2) victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. "The win was vital to ease the tension. It's been no walk in the park lately," the Borussia Dortmund sporting director expressed, alluding to the backlash the team faced following their dismal 1:2 defeat in Stuttgart two weeks prior.
Kehl admired the team's indomitable morale that turned the tide against Mönchengladbach, trailing 2-0 early in the game due to goals from Marcel Sabitzer (30') and Niclas Füllkrug (32'). The comeback was sealed with goals from Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (45'), Donyell Malen (90+7), and a sensational late strike by Guirassy. "We demonstrated our comeback abilities once more. You don't need to rely on that every time. It's a characteristic of this season's team," Kehl commended.
The defeat in Stuttgart had raised concerns, but BVB managed to stave off a slump. "It won't get boring with us this season. A big kudos to the lads for their spirit, energy, and determination," commented Edin Terzic. The coach saw the performance as a source of encouragement before facing tough fixtures against AC Milan (Tuesday) and Leverkusen (Sunday). "It was crucial that we kicked off the new phase with a win," Terzic added.
Terzic remains optimistic about the prospects of Karim Adeyemi and Sebastien Haller, who had been struck down by a cold and were unavailable against Mönchengladbach. "We hope they'll recuperate swiftly so they can join us on Monday for Milan." Kehl echoed the sentiment, expressing hope that the pair would be available for selection.
Borussia Dortmund's win over Mönchengladbach was much-needed for Sebastian Kehl, who applauded the team's resilience and Morale, demonstrating a strong come-from-behind performance. Despite the criticism following their loss in Stuttgart, Dortmund's sports director praised the team's spirit and solidarity, which played a crucial role in pulling themselves back into the game. Meanwhile, the return of key playmakers Karim Adeyemi and Sebastien Haller could be a welcomed boost for Borussia Dortmund as they tackle AC Milan in the upcoming Champions League game.
