Versatility in defense: Gladbach's squad planning in focus

In the world of football, planning the squad is often a demanding task. Borussia Mönchengladbach faces a special challenge, especially on the defensive, where several personnel changes are necessary.

reinforcement of the defensive is the focus

The defense against Borussia Mönchengladbach has priority in the current season, since after Tony Jantschke's end of career and the end of Maximilian Wöber's loan are missing. An inconsistent Nico Elvedi could also leave the defense line, which increases the need to oblige adequate talents.

versatile solutions asked

Sports Managing Director Roland Virkus has emphasized that the selection of future players not only secure a strengthening of the defense, but also increase flexibility in the squad. "We want polyvalent players who can fill several positions," said Virkus and underlined the need to make clever transfers. This strategy could help close the squad gaps without unnecessarily loading the budget.

A possible new addition is in conversation

A concrete example of the discussion about new players is Bernardo from VfL Bochum. The versatile player can act both in central defense and as a left -back. At Gladbach, he could not only serve as a replacement for Wöber, but also support Luca Netz.

The specific situation in the squad

The current squad planning is characterized by a variety of strengths in the gate and midfield, while the defensive urgently needs to be reinforced. Tim Kleindienst is considered a solid striker alongside the injury -prone Tomáš Čvančara. The need to keep the team balanced and competitive is of central importance for the association.

The patience of the fans is asked

In the past two years, the fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach have had to pay patience because the team often completed its transfers at the last minute. The coming weeks will show how quickly Virkus can oblige the players you need and whether the fans have to wait again to the Deadline Day.
