vollraute abroad - all gladbach news in one podcast

Borussia v Borussia it is for the start of the second part of the season after the winter break, and Manuel had been invited to the @yellowwallpod to talk about the two new signings Borussia has made, the tactical changes André Schubert has brought to the squad and the season so far for Gladbach’s players

Two more goal-festivals at Borussia-Park at the end of the Hinrunde. First, André Schubert’s squad was eliminated from the DFB-Cup by losing 3-4 to Werder Bremen, who capitalised on a poor second half defensive performance by the Foals. End-to-end-action continued against Darmstadt 98, which took the lead against Gladbach and looked like winners after the Red card for Granit Xhaka, but Borussia impressively bounced back with ten men, and Swedish international Oscar Wendt turned the stadium on its head when he scored a late 3-2-winner for the Foals. Manuel runs you through these matches and proposes three winners and losers of the first half of the season for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end. Thanks for listening to Vollraute Abroad, merry Xmas and happy holidays!

A week with lots of ups and downs: First, Gladbach defeated Bayern Munich in a true Bundesliga upset 3-1, the first loss for Bayern of the entire season, when a few days later a 2-1 lead to Manchester City was converted into a 2-4 loss within six minutes, as the Blues sealed Borussia's exit from European football for the season. On the back of Champions-League elimination, Bayer Leverkusen then shocked André Schuberts side, beating the Foals 5-0 in what was in turn the fist defeat for Schubert as Gladbach coach in the Bundesliga.

Still unbeaten in the Bundesliga under now-headcoach André Schubert and a convincing 4-2 against Sevilla in the Champions League, keeping Borussia

in the race for 3rd place in the group to qualify for the Europa League. A hard-fought 2-1 victory over Hannover 96 was followed by a 3-3 thriller at Hoffenheim, where

goals from Josip Drmic and Fabian Johnson brought Gladbach back from being 1-3 down. Manuel talks you through the matches, before previewing the upcoming classic

against Champions Bayern Munich at Borussia-Park and the last CL-group stage match away to Manchester City.

The winning streak under André Schubert had come to an end, after the convincing 4-1 away victory at Hertha BSC Berlin the Foals drew to promoted

FC Ingolstadt at Borussia-Park 0-0. Still, good times at the club, back on sixth in the League and an impressive performance in the Champions League

against Juventus (1-1), which eliminates Borussia from the competition, unfortunately, but the race for 3rd spot which secures survival in the Europa League

is still wide open. In the German DFB-Cup, Borussia advanced to the round of last 16 with a 2-0 win at Schalke 04! Manuel talks you through all four encounters.

Thanks for listening and spread the word!

Another successful week for the Foals, as Eintracht Frankfurt was comprehensibly dealt with on their own ground (5-1), before Gladbach secured their first ever Champions League point by goalless drawing to Juventus at Turin! This was followed by a 3-1 win over Schalke, with an outstanding performance by right back Julian Korb, scoring his first ever goal for Borussia. Sadly, Andre Hahn was badly injured and has to be ruled out for months to come. Manuel guides you through the matches.

Its has been an unbelievable week at Borussia-Park, the 0-1 loss to Cologne in the Rhine-Derby was followed by the most shocking of all events for Borussia-Fans, manager Lucien Favre resigned despite board and sporting director trying to hold onto the Swiss! There was no time for feeling sorry about this, however, as Augsburg came to Borussia-Park for matchday 6 last Wednesday.

And the team of current manager Andre Schubert showed massive signs of improvement, winning for the first time this season, 4-2, with a remarkable four goals scored after 21minutes! The away match to Stuttgart was equally successful, as Borussia took another three points with the 3-1 win to VfB. Quite a debut for Schubert at Borussia's first squad, which he will now lead into the second Champions League match of the season, at home to Manchester City!

Manuel is taking a look back to the HSV home game, the first real Championsleague game since the 70s.

Of course the upcoming Rheinderby is in focus as well and Manuel is analyzing what we can expect in terms of tactics and line-up. Well, could it get any worse?

Thank you Ibra Traoré :-)
