Farke spoke of how he remained active from quarantine throughout the week as part of preparing his team for one of German football’s greatest rivalries.
It was ultimately this loss that forced Rose to reveal that he would be abandoning the club. Gladbach have not won the derby since. Adi Hütter’s team was all-too-easily beaten by Köln in both fixtures last season. It constituted the first time that the Effzeh claimed both the home and away prize since the 1989/90 season. Given the stakes involved, it’s no surprise that Daniel Farke wished to emphasize that he was very active from his home office over the course of the week.
“I called the guys a lot and got on their nerves,” Farke said with a smirk on his face, “They had enough to do. The concrete preparation for the opener usually starts two days from the matchday. It’s thus important that I’m once again present.”
“It’s not going to be an easy task,” Farke emphasized, “But if it were easy, it would also be boring. We’re looking forward to the game. For our club and our fans, it’s one of the most important games of the year. There’s emotions and volatility. We are highly motivated to give our fans a positive performance and, above all, a positive result. That would be incredible.
