Four days before the game against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, RB pressed in vain for the tie in the latter stages and ran out of points for the first time this season. The Gladbachers, who have not been defeated in seven games, rose to fourth place before their premier-class duel with Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday. Offensive man Wolf advanced towards the winner of the match against Borussia in the 60th minute.
“I see myself as a Borussia Mönchengladbach player and I hope to be here longer than this year,” said striker Wolf, who has previously worked with Gladbach coach Marco Rose at RB Salzburg. In the loan agreement of the 21-year-old, the purchase obligation is anchored in a certain number of missions. It was a “stone of his heart” that turned out so well. “I had to wait a long time for this moment. The game is sure to give you confidence. “
After the 0: 5 bankruptcy at Manchester United, rotation and compactness on defense were the top priority for RB coach Julian Nagelsmann, who switched to four with Willi Orban and made other changes. Austrian captain Marcel Sabitzer was in the starting eleven for the first time this season. Stefan Lainer played as Wolf in Gladbach, Valentino Larazo, on loan from Inter Milan, made his debut from minute 80.
Duel closed from the beginning
Newcomer Alexander Sörloth entered the starting lineup for the second time and immediately conceded with a good squad for Yussuf Poulsen, forcing Yann Sommer to make the first save in the tenth minute. Gladbach also had to work his way into a new formation after the spectacular 2-2 draw against Real Madrid during the week. Jonas Hofmann moved to defensive midfield and reorganized the row of three behind Alassane Plea.
Wolf was also given the opportunity to play early on. Due to the many changes in both teams, the rhythm was lacking, usually both teams fought high-class duels in the past. But the hosts lacked the punch in the forward game. Leipzig was initially safe on defense and was on the lookout for mistakes in Gladbach’s preparation game. In general, both teams neutralized each other and almost never saw stunt scenes.
Wolf’s decision after one hour
Gladbach’s best chance came after a mistake by Dayot Upamecano for Plea, who did not complete consistently and missed to RB goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi. The goalkeeper was in the visiting goal for the 137th time, becoming Leipzig’s new turntable.
The decision was finally made after an hour, when ÖFB team player Wolf scored his much-acclaimed Bundesliga goal against his former club. His right-footed shot into the right corner after a presentation by Patrick Herrmann failed to take place. Seven minutes later, Plea could have raised it to 2-0, but the French only hit the crossbar.
