Stöger on the bench: Gladbach's creative dilemma before the Mainz game!

Borussia Mönchengladbach is faced with a dilemma on the offensive: Kevin Stöger, brought in as one of the top performers of the season, had to sit on the bench in the last game against Heidenheim. Coach Gerardo Seoane changed his system after the defeat in Augsburg and surprisingly the choice fell on Alassane Plea, who recommended himself for future assignments with an excellent performance by playing a key role in all three goals.

This means a setback for the Austrian national player and creative mind Stöger. Seoane explained that the adjustment of the system is intended to create more depth and potential for individual duels on the wings, which spurred the training of wing players Robin Hack and Franck Honorat. The question remains whether Stöger will come into his own again in future games or whether Plea will stay ahead. Manager Roland Virkus assures us that it is not a luxury problem, but rather a question of proper operational planning depending on the respective opponents. The fate of the two creative players could be put to the test again on Friday in Mainz. Details on this topic can be found at www.bild.de.
