You have used the international break to a test against Arnhem. How satisfied were you in spite of the 0:1?
I've seen a good game. We have fully implemented, what has distinguished us in the first few weeks: combinations, fast game forward in the head, chances herausspielen rear allow little. I've seen a lot of what I've missed in just the last two Bundesliga games against Freiburg and Dortmund.
Therefore, it was for me a step forward. The trouble is, however, that we have lost 0-1, which corresponds to the run of play at all, because we certainly have a dozen Tormöglichkeiten left unused.
The hoped-for success experience was missed.
That's true. But we have the essentials to keep in mind - and this is our opponent coming Wolfsburg. I would go there now, much worse if we had played badly against Arnhem, but won 1-0. Because I just knew that it would not be so rich against Wolfsburg. The team has noticed that she has made a good game and they can pull enough positive things.
Nevertheless, she remained for the fourth year in a row without a hit, you have an explanation for the current Torarmut?
These things do not often explain, because no one misses the extra two feet at the gate. Of course, we train the Torabschluss, but in the race, it's just something else. We just have to stay tuned and I hope that when things go into one that explodes the knot again.
Someone who will take care of Torgefahr, Juan Arango. Why is it for a while in a power hole?
For Juan, it is a huge load of internationals and related flights. The Hotelfassade him uneasy. Stamina you have for him no suitably tackle because he breaks into the match two games for his national team contests, and thus can be worked up at this stage, nothing.
From the warm South America in the cold climate of Germany is also always a huge transition. But Juan has arrived safely in Gladbach. He has shown, in the first few weeks, what value it may have for us and I am confident that he can again build it soon.
Often he makes lots of activity in the first half and went underground after the break?
I do not see it that way. You can not always tie up to each player. This often has to do with the whole team. The A and O will be generally compact with us - and in football -. If you are four or five yards farther apart stand, you get problems. At the beginning has honored us that we were tight and compact and we played fast forward. Then we have to come back again.
They speak to the good start. Why the team has lost in spite of this great start to the self-confidence so quickly?
It is difficult to explain in a few sentences. The fact is that I have already said at the time that is not all that glitters is gold. Even at the beginning, there were plenty of things for which I have said, we must begin to leverage and improve. Then we lose with Nuremberg, Hoffenheim and Duisburg three games, all of which would otherwise be able to run or even have. Those were good games, we have lost some unhappy, some naive. And then there is such a logic in football, that in such a phase, such as poor performance against Freiburg or Dortmund are not rewarded with points.
How many meters are left in your opinion already on the track?
From the games in Nuremberg and Hoffenheim, we would have had to pull out from my point of view four points. Bochum, where we have counted 3-0 lead and then played a 3-3 draw I did not do so. Since we had after the field reference to Dante to be happy that we have gone with a point from the square. I would be considerably worse off if we had played badly against Arnhem, but won 1-0.
