Alexander Blessin backs his team before the Cologne derby

Alexander Blessin, the new head coach of Borussia Mönchengladbach, addressed the media ahead of the away derby against 1. FC Köln. The German coach focused on his team’s motivation and on a clear idea: how Gladbach plan to turn the home crowd’s atmosphere to their advantage.

As kicker reports, Blessin’s main message was the trust he’s giving the group, summed up in his quote “Wahnsinniges Vertrauen in die Jungs”—insane faith in his players—going into the trip to Cologne.
