At Borussia Mönchengladbach, the air for Adi Hütter is gradually thin. In the home game against FC Augsburg is also the coach under pressure.

• “We are currently stuck in a not very simple situation”
• Hütter in the most difficult situation of his career

Adi Hütter is realist, before the groundbreaking duel against the FC Augsburg, the coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach does not indicate illusions. “This is an insane important game for both teams,” said Hütter. The Austrian knows: does not succeed on Saturday (15:30 / Sky) the turnaround, it should be more uncomfortable around the Borussia Park. Also personally for him.

The table draws a gloomy image: three places are still separated by the Borussia from the red zone, the projection on the relegation site, which currently has the Augsburg, is melted on a dot. In principle, he does not worry, but one must “see reality in the eye”, “Hütter said, talking on Thursday by a” meaningful game “in this situation. “We have to go to the lead, then the knot may burst, as we all want.”

“We are currently stuck in a not very simple situation”

The trend does not speak for the coach and his team. Although there was a small hope for the 1-1 in the previous week at Arminia Bielefeld, but only a victory from the past nine league games and the Blamable Cup K.o. For second division Hannover 96 (0: 3), the Lower Rhine ensures a certain success of success. And this is the motto before the Augsburg Showdown: Losing Banned!

“We are currently putting in a not very simple situation. We are aware of this,” said Captain Lars Stindl and assured: “We know what it’s in the last games.” And Hütter emphasized that it was important to “that you are positive.” His team have “the fight we just deny, accepted”.

Hütter knows about the precarious situation. Already after the draw in Bielefeld he described the game against Augsburg as an “absolute key game”. Probably for him. In this case, after the resignation of Adi Hütters director Max Eberl, the question of who in the Borussia in the case of the case could even pull the tear in the coach question.

Hütter in the most difficult situation of his career

Anyway, the liaison of Hütter and Mönchengladbach is not very happy so far. The Austrian, which Eberl had brought out in the summer for 7.5 million euros from Eintracht Frankfurt, has not yet managed to pour the foal of those power football paired with constancy and quality, with which he rocked the league in Frankfurt in his three years.

Already after three matchdays Gladbach found himself again in the basement. Thereafter, with a small intermediate high, the leap into the upper table half, but since nine on the twelfth matchday it has steadily downhill. Even the coup at the beginning of the year at the time Coronagenstagten Master Bayern Munich (2: 1) no turnaround initiated.

Even before the game against Union Berlin, Hütter had spoken of the “toughest situation in my 13-year-old activity”. The situation has not become easier after two other games without victory.
