Gladbach auf Europa-Kurs! Ein Star verrät nun spannende Gründe für den Höhenflug…
Borussia greift in dieser Saison plötzlich die Liga-Spitze an. Der Fast-Absteiger aus der vergangenen Saison (nur Platz 14) steht aktuell auf Europa-League-Platz 6, mit nur zwei Punkten Rückstand ist sogar die Qualifikation für die Champions League drin. Der Glaube, dass es am Ende der Saison wirklich klappt mit Europa wächst auch unter den Stars.
[–>Identifikationsfigur Rocco Reitz (22) im Interview mit SPORT BILD: „Ich sage bewusst: Man darf nicht zu klein träumen, ich will ganz hoch hinaus! Aber ich sage genauso deutlich: Wir lassen uns definitiv nicht von der Euphorie treiben. Nur wenn wir Woche für Woche so weitermachen, wird es am Ende ganz automatisch gut aussehen.“
Darum ist Gladbach plötzlich so gut
Reitz verrät im Gespräch nun neue Details dafür, warum es bei Borussia derzeit so gut läuft:
► Super-Abwehr! Reitz: „Der Hauptaspekt ist für mich die Defensive. Wir sind viel stabiler geworden. Eine 1:0-Führung wie zuletzt gegen Leipzig hätten wir vergangene Saison womöglich nicht in einen Sieg verwandelt. Dieser Wille, zu hundert Prozent das Tor zu verteidigen, ist in uns allen gewachsen.“
► Mehr Effizienz! Reitz: „Natürlich sind wir auch in der Chancenverwertung besser geworden, da spielt Tim Kleindienst mit seinen Toren und seiner Präsenz eine wichtige Rolle.“

► Festhalten an Trainer Gerardo Seoane (46)! Reitz: „Wichtig war in meinen Augen auch, dass man uns allen die Zeit gegeben hat. Der Fußball ist so schnelllebig geworden, dass viele Dinge schon nach kurzer Zeit infrage gestellt werden, wenn es mal nicht gut läuft. Gerardo Seoane und wir haben dagegen die Möglichkeit bekommen, uns immer besser kennenzulernen und Routinen entwickeln zu können, das zahlt sich jetzt aus.“
► Härtere Strafen! Der Gladbach-Kassenwart: „Wir haben den Strafenkatalog dieser Saison noch einmal angezogen, ich arbeite viel mit Excel-Tabellen, muss die Strafen eintreiben. Es wird vor allem auf Pünktlichkeit geachtet. Nicht nur beim Training, auch bei Physio- oder Arztterminen. Die Ärzte richten ihren Tag nach uns aus. Wer diese Termine nicht einhält, dem darf es auch mal wehtun.“
Die Maßnahmen scheinen bei Borussia zu wirken…

2025 NFL Draft: Quinshon Judkins missed the Browns call to pick him because he was in the bathroom
Getty Images The Cleveland Browns controlled the top of the board on Friday night in the 2025 NFL Draft, as they had two of the first four picks in the second round. Given their need at quarterback, there was plenty of conversation connecting them with Shedeur Sanders, but they were focused on filling out their roster with talent elsewhere.With the 33rd overall pick, they took UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger and then followed that up by selecting Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins at No. 36 overall. Judkins, who started his career at Ole Miss before joining the Buckeyes last year for their national championship run, was considered one of the two best backs left on the board alongside his teammate Treyveon Henderson, and will make the short drive from Columbus to Cleveland to begin his career. However, Judkins was the last […]
How far will Shedeur Sanders fall in NFL Draft? Colorado QB slips into Round 3; Saints take Tyler Shough
Getty Images Shedeur Sanders may believe he's the best quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but NFL teams apparently feel otherwise. After going unselected in the first round on Thursday night, Sanders was also completely overlooked in Round 2, when Louisville's Tyler Shough became the next quarterback to come off the board, sliding all the way into the third round.His dramatic tumble comes hours after CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones indicated there wasn't necessarily a strong market for the Colorado signal-caller at the top of Round 2, despite several quarterback-needy teams like the Cleveland Browns owning picks to kick off Day 2. Sanders has drawn some critiques for his on-field skill set, with some scouts questioning whether he has enough high-level athleticism and upside to be a difference-maker on the NFL stage. A large amount of the public […]
Denver Broncos draft R.J. Harvey: Sean Payton can work wonders with the explosive future playmaker
Getty Images The Denver Broncos selected UCF running back R.J. Harvey with the No. 60 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sean Payton, whose history with the Saints includes multiple top-12 Fantasy Football finishes at the running back position year after year and breakout RB1s like Alvin Kamara, has now found himself a No. 1 option at the position. Harvey joins a backfield that features last year's Day 3 draft pick Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin as his main competition for touches on a rising offense featuring second-year quarterback Bo Nix. Estime came on strong in the end and will have a specific role for Payton and the Broncos in 2025. It's more difficult to project McLaughlin's role. Harvey is a more explosive version of McLaughlin who can play in the pass game but also run between the tackles. It's […]
