Alexander Rosen takes a position on the feud between Max Eberl and the Gladbach fan project “FPMG Supporters Club”.
In the feud between the Gladbach fan project “FPMG Supporters Club” and Max Eberl, Alexander Rosen, director of professional football at TSG Hoffenheim, has now taken a position. Rosen has absolutely no understanding for the reaction of the Gladbach fan project.
Surprisingly little is said about the open letter from the “FPMG Supporters Club” to the designated Leipzig sports director Max Eberl. Eberl himself recently broached the subject again and expressed his incomprehension for the bold allegations in the letter. Hoffenheim’s sporting director Alexander Rosen has now defended Eberl’s position sports1 “double pass”.
Rosen defends Eberl
“I think you should be very sure when you make such a blatant claim. It’s pretty daring to accuse such a seasoned man who’s established in the Bundesliga, who cries and says he can’t do it anymore, that he’s acting on the podium and absolutely borderline”, Rosen criticized the reaction of the fan project.
And further: “It is completely unacceptable that you assume something like this from afar. (…) To ask yourself that he is only doing a show, in my opinion something like that is an absolute no-go.”
That Rosen takes this position is good. Max Eberl would have wished for this defense from the Gladbach club management; the Borussia bosses have left the statements of the fan project uncommented to this day.
Rosen: “The second point is difficult for me to assess how Borussia Mönchengladbach behaved towards him at the time. The fact is that they did not position themselves publicly when the open letter was published. That can certainly be criticized. “
Criticism of Eberl: A shame beyond compare
It is one thing that Max Eberl almost single-handedly turned Borussia Mönchengladbach, at that time almost relegated, into a Champions League candidate. The fact that this man repeatedly says that he can no longer do it, that he is mentally ill – that is a story that leaves no room for interpretation. This is – especially for those who have no experience with mental illness – simply to be accepted.
The lack of understanding that Eberl is leaving Gladbach and moving to RB Leipzig less than a year later may be understandable. But carrying it out on the back of Eberl’s mental health is an unparalleled shame, for which all the authors of the letter should be ashamed.
It is therefore all the more important that more people follow Alexander Rosen’s example and take a clear position. Above all, the club management of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
