Bundesliga: Kramer against Farke’s dismissal: “That’s nonsense”

Former soccer world champion Christoph Kramer has decided against the departure of coach Daniel Farke at Borussia Mönchengladbach at the end of the season, which has already been confirmed according to media information.

“We’ve been playing the way we’ve been playing for two and a half years. It wasn’t the coach’s fault last year, it wasn’t the coach’s fault last year, it wasn’t the coach’s fault this year,” said the 32-year-old after the 2-2 draw in the Rhenish Bundesliga -Rival Bayer Leverkusen at DAZN and in a larger media round.

The “Rheinische Post” reported before the game that Farke’s leave of absence at the end of the season was already certain. Despite a denial by sports director Roland Virkus, all signs speak for it. But according to Kramer, the blame for the disappointing season lies with the players. “We can’t always give ourselves alibis. Should we get the next coach now and then the next coach again? That’s nonsense,” Kramer explained.

“We can’t change coaches every season and always say, ‘It wasn’t the right approach either, we need something else’,” said the central midfielder. “When a coach is on the brink, that’s always a sign of failure for the team,” Kramer continued: “It’s not nice for us either, because it gives us a bad report.” But he thinks it’s “great how the coach deals with it.”

Farke has not addressed the issue at all with the team and has not shown anything else. “And I like people who are the same in every situation,” said Kramer: “Not to be bent when everyone scolds you and always tells you what you have to change: that’s strength. If you can endure it and with it like that because you believe in what you’re doing – I like that, I totally admire that. That’s the way you go through life in this business and end up being successful.”
