After folders intervened, the poster quickly disappeared, as did one with a Hopp face in the crosshairs. Gladbach manager Max Eberl and captain Lars Stindl went into the curve to talk to the fans.
“That upsets me because it is not what we stand for. We have clear values and are against racism and exclusion, ”said Eberl after the game against“ Sky ”. He spoke of “50 horn oxen” that would have held up a poster. “I’m ashamed of that.” Eberl was pleased with the first reaction from the fans. “I hope that the people outside don’t see the opinion of 30, 40 or 50 idiots as the club’s opinion,” he said: “But the other fans blew it down. These are reactions that you want. “
Alfred Schreuder, coach of 1899 Hoffenheim, said after the game that he had considered sending his team off the field. “I said: If the poster doesn’t go away, we’ll go home. Then they can have the three points, ”said the Dutchman.
Later compensation from Hoffenheim
During the interruption, the stadium announcer asked for reason with several announcements, “the majority of the spectators here do not want to see something like this”. The corresponding punishment will hardly be able to prevent this.
Fanhilfe Mönchengladbach tweeted shortly after the incident: “Banner was (roughly worded) criticism of #Hopp, the #DFB and the punishment this week. Crosshair graphic is the symbol for which the punishment against #bvb was pronounced. ”
In sporting terms, the big end for Borussia was already there. Hoffenheim’s Lucas Ribeiro (90. + 2) scored the late equalizer against Gladbacher, who missed too many chances after the 1-0 win by Matthias Ginter (11th).
