Overcoming the Frankfurt fear: Polanski urges his Foals to step up | OneFootball

It hasn't even been half a year since Eugen Polanski experienced a real horror half-time with Gladbach. Against Frankfurt, the Foals were trailing 0:6 after just 47 minutes.

To prevent this from happening again in the return match at 3:30 PM this weekend, Gladbach's coach is now demanding two main things from his team.

"I told my team that I expect courage and determination from them in the forward play. They executed this excellently against Leverkusen - but we need to build on that in Frankfurt," emphasized the former professional at the matchday press conference. Especially against an unsettled Frankfurt team, this could really be the key to success.

SGE lost four of the last five games and, despite a good first half against Union Berlin on the previous matchday, could only manage a 1:1 draw. The Foals should not keep in mind that they also couldn't win during the same period.
