Daniel Farke had a lot of praise for Julian Weigl. The midfield loan will become important for Gladbach very quickly.
Julian Weigl made his first start for Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday. Daniel Farke is already showing himself to be a fan of his new midfielder.
The first substitution in the previous week, now followed the starting eleven debut with a 90-minute mission. Julian Weigl has fully arrived in Gladbach and is now an important part of Daniel Farke’s team.
It was no surprise that he fully relied on Weigl on Sunday afternoon. The manager was already seen as a key factor in the successful attempt to land the 27-year-old on loan from Benfica this season. On the other hand, Farke, with his style of play and further plans, will also have been an argument for Weigl.
Farke with praise for Weigl – loan with first 90-minute mission
“You also have to consider the environment, it wasn’t easy. He has a newly formed central defence [Friedrich und Kramer] played”, the coach introduced his praise for the newcomer after the.
Farke continued: “He hasn’t been with us long and measured by that, he did really well.” In particular, his work against the ball and acting as a pivot in midfield, which helped determine the rhythm of the game, was well received by the coach.
Only Christoph Kramer had more ball contacts against Freiburg than Weigl. However, Kramer did not play next to the loan from Lisbon, but in the central defense behind it. “We discussed both,” Farke explained the mind games. “I wanted Jule, who can also play it, to play in his 1A position from the start in his first game because he’s not quite in the rhythm yet.”
But not only those responsible, but also the fans drew a very positive conclusion to Weigl’s first 90-minute mission. “Fortunately we still have a Julian Weigl in our own ranks,” commented a fan.
Especially in view of the protracted absence of Florian Neuhaus, the six-time national player will have to play an important role very quickly.
