Squad13 Nov 2045

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gonçalo Oliveira

54 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FC Augsburg lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad13 Nov 2045

Benjamin Groß breaks a bone — 20 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match11 Nov 2045

Hans Schröder’s goal not enough for FC Augsburg

Hans Schröder scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Heidenheim, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad13 Nov 2045

Uwe Simon signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Uwe Simon and FC Augsburg agree another 2 years.

Squad13 Nov 2045

FC Augsburg count the cost of losing Felix Meiser

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings13 Nov 2045

Nobody could get near Niklas Berger

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad6 Feb 2045

A fracture rules David Schuster out for 94 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Borussia Mönchengladbach will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings6 Feb 2045

Tim Zimmermann scores twice — 9.17

Two goals and a mark of 9.17 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad6 Feb 2045

A one-man rearguard from Daniel Walter

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad6 Feb 2045

Benjamin Zimmermann signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Benjamin Zimmermann and Borussia Mönchengladbach agree another 4 years.

Squad6 Feb 2045

Tempers go at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Tyler Meiser was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match4 Feb 2045

Borussia Mönchengladbach see off Eintracht Frankfurt

Three points for Borussia Mönchengladbach, 3‑2 the final word against Eintracht Frankfurt in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match4 Feb 2045

Still nobody has beaten Borussia Mönchengladbach

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Boardroom6 Feb 2045

Borussia Mönchengladbach beat the market to Cody Bergwijn from Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Cody Bergwijn has pre-agreed a move to Borussia Mönchengladbach, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Market6 Feb 2045

Nobody at Borussia Mönchengladbach has picked up the phone to Renato Fernandes

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad23 Jan 2045

David Schuster breaks a bone — 111 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 111 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tyler Meiser was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad23 Jan 2045

The manager makes an example of Markus Roth

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market23 Jan 2045

Union Berlin are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Borussia Mönchengladbach will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad23 Jan 2045

Jacopo Del Fabro falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match21 Jan 2045

Honours even between Borussia Mönchengladbach and SC Freiburg

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

David Schuster breaks a bone — 118 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 118 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad16 Jan 2045

Markus Friedrich keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Borussia Mönchengladbach may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings16 Jan 2045

Nothing got past Donny Van de Beek

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 25 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad16 Jan 2045

Tyler Meiser in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Borussia Mönchengladbach this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market16 Jan 2045

Uwe Simon attracts admirers

The name of Uwe Simon has come up in conversations Borussia Mönchengladbach were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad16 Jan 2045

Bruno Celan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match14 Jan 2045

Vasileios Theofanopoulos the difference as Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Hamburger SV

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Vasileios Theofanopoulos. 1‑0 against Hamburger SV, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad10 Oct 2044

Naba Mensah damages knee ligaments — 52 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 52 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad10 Oct 2044

Tyler Meiser breaks a bone — 87 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 87 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market10 Oct 2044

Luke Gilligan has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Borussia Mönchengladbach they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad10 Oct 2044

Tempers go at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Tyler Meiser was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match8 Oct 2044

Borussia Mönchengladbach find a way past Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt made Borussia Mönchengladbach work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad10 Oct 2044

Words at Borussia Mönchengladbach training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andreas Meyer is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings10 Oct 2044

The afternoon belonged to Georg Richter

7.77, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Borussia Mönchengladbach had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Market10 Oct 2044

Uwe Simon is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Borussia Mönchengladbach has been clear about where Uwe Simon stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market10 Oct 2044

The Benjamin Zimmermann question follows Borussia Mönchengladbach around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Benjamin Zimmermann’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match20 Jun 2044

Borussia Mönchengladbach sink to position 18

19 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad20 Jun 2044

A fracture rules Vasileios Theofanopoulos out for 26 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Borussia Mönchengladbach will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Borussia Mönchengladbach may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market20 Jun 2044

Uwe Simon hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Borussia Mönchengladbach can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Tyler Meiser was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Markus Friedrich gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Markus Friedrich has just signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach, and for once the answer mattered.

The terraces11 Apr 2044

The mood at Borussia Mönchengladbach has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad11 Apr 2044

Marius Jacobsen breaks a bone — 98 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 98 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad11 Apr 2044

Tim Zimmermann is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.26 with 27 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad11 Apr 2044

Jan Olschowsky keeps Borussia Mönchengladbach in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad11 Apr 2044

Jan Olschowsky in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Borussia Mönchengladbach this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom11 Apr 2044

Borussia Mönchengladbach move for the manager

The approach has been made to Ohod and the answer is somebody else's to give. These things are settled in private and reported in public, usually in that order.

Boardroom11 Apr 2044

Still nobody in the Borussia Mönchengladbach dugout

10 days with the chair empty, a list of names that grows and shrinks by the day, and not one signature on anything. Every week that passes takes the best candidates off it.

Match9 Apr 2044

Benjamin Zimmermann sends Borussia Mönchengladbach past Bayer Leverkusen

It finished 2‑1, and it was Benjamin Zimmermann’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Player ratings11 Apr 2044

One of those days for Tim Zimmermann

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
