Debate about Max Eberl: Gladbach’s managing director Markus Aretz takes a stand.
The debate about Max Eberl and his withdrawal from Gladbach, followed by the upcoming new chapter RB Leipzig, has been expanded to a new level: Gladbach’s management is no longer silent, but responds with platitudes. The decision-makers on the Lower Rhine do not seem to have understood the explosive nature of the debate.
Max Eberl cannot express more clearly that he was mentally exhausted when he retired from Borussia Mönchengladbach and took months to recover. Nevertheless, this seems to continue to overtake large parts of Gladbach.
After the Gladbach fan project “FPMG Supporters Club” exploited Eberl’s illness to express anger at Eberl’s move to RB Leipzig, the Gladbach club management failed to position itself clearly and publicly.
Eberl was angry about that, as he recently did in an interview with the world on Sunday betrayed. In this interview, Eberl repeated that he repeatedly told the Gladbach club management in tears that his strength had reached its limits and that he could not go any further.
Gladbach disappointed immensely in the Eberl discussion
in the sports1 “One-two” was the topic picked up on Sunday and Alexander Rosen, sports director at TSG Hoffenheim, which one would actually expect from the Gladbach club management.
Now – finally! – with managing director Markus Aretz a person from said club management expressed. However, not to deal with Max Eberl or his lack of understanding with it. No, Aretz sent a message to Eberl to please calm down.
“We believe that it would be better for both sides if there was calm in this matter and that there is no back and forth of mutual accusations,” Aretz said in the Süddeutsche Zeitung quoted. Instead, Aretz pushed the debate onto the miserable sporting bench: “Borussia has complied with Max’s wish to quit his job and leave the club, and recently also met his wish to work in Leipzig from December. We would like more say no more to the matter.”
Apparently, the Gladbach club management has neither the need to understand Max Eberl nor the desire to protect Max Eberl from false accusations. The club thus operates on the same level as the “FPMG Supporters Club” fan project: that of a stubborn child who wants to follow suit.
