Mönchengladbach - In the training of reservists skin Oliver Neuville one ball after another into the net. At Hans Meyer clippers are his qualities not asked.
Although Borussia in the last five games measly two points won and scored only three goals - one of them stands out from the game - the 35-year-old at Gladbach coach on the sidelines.
Neuville disappointed: "A bit odd that already. In recent years I have always scored the most goals and prepared. Now I'm just purely for the last 20 minutes. "
As Captain Friend turned out, was Colautti preference. Matmour ran against Torino was the center. Substitute striker was first Bubi Lamidi. Neuville is only number five strikers.
Oliver: "In the final training session I was playing in the A-Eleven and had thought, from its inception. The coach has decided otherwise, I must accept it. Understand, I do not do it. "
Meyers Neuville lousy game! First he put the 69-fold from national team as captain, then railed on about his advanced age, "Oliver is 35 Show me in one of Europe's top leagues, a striker at this age, the master player. "
Sport boss Max Eberl Neuvilles extended contract still to 2010. Because the senior Borussia expected to help in case of relegation to the immediate revival - as in the past season with 15 goals and 10 templates. Meyer is not interested.
Below him was Olli ran only once from the start. In Karlsruhe, as Marko Marin yellow lock was missing. An impressive showing there, provided the attacker does not dismantled. As well, without any confidence. Meyer brings him always on the unpopular Außenstürmerposition.
Neuville: "This surprises me any more. That is why I am also not worry if I play from the start or not, "he says resignedly.
The big loser is Borussia, which could make good use Neuvilles experience and goals in a relegation battle.
