Party with the fans: how Engelhardt celebrated the derby win over Köln | OneFootball

Yannik Engelhardt played his first derby for Gladbach against Cologne and celebrated with the fans at the end. This victory is something that everyone who supports the Foals will not forget anytime soon. The Como loanee knows that too. 

"We know what the derby means to the fans. And when you win, go to the stands, celebrate together, have good moments, that's simply the best. That's why you play football – and it feels really good," said the 24-year-old in an interview with 'Bild'. After this success, he would have of course liked to keep playing instead of now heading into the international break. 

All the more important it is now to catch their breath and build on this success. "The way we play and especially the mentality we are currently showing on the pitch, we have to preserve that for the upcoming tasks in the Bundesliga. And then I am very optimistic," Engelhardt looks ahead. 

The view of the table is also much more pleasant now for Gladbach. With two wins in a row, they go into the international break in twelfth place. During this time, they can now recover and then look forward to the return of players such as Tim Kleindienst, among others.
