Borussia Mönchengladbach will travel to face defending champions Bayern Munich in the next round of the Bundesliga, and head coach Eugen Polanski said that he and the team are well aware of Bayern Munich's strength, so they will actively engage in attack and limit the opponent's offensive efforts.

In the last round of the league, Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated Union Berlin 1-0 after Kevin Dijks scored a penalty. Returning to winning ways, Mönchengladbach currently sits in 12th place in the standings with 25 points.

As for Bayern Munich, Kompany's team is firmly in first place in the standings with 63 points, and in the last match, they defeated their strong rivals Borussia Dortmund 3-2.

Borussia Mönchengladbach coach Eugen Polanski said, "We are very aware that Bayern Munich has an extremely strong team. The key is for us to go to the away game as a whole and show enough performance on the pitch to convince ourselves that we can compete with them. To do this, we need to give it our all. We must stay focused, be aggressive in duels, and remain calm and agile when in possession."

“We must limit Bayern Munich’s rhythm and disrupt their play. This means we need to be aggressive in our battles, keep our formation compact, and, if necessary, adopt a deeper defensive formation. At the same time, we also need to have some possession and create some problems for our opponents.”

Eugen Polanski pointed out, "When analyzing our opponents, we did study different ways to respond, but the most important thing is to be clear about what we are good at. Against Bayern Munich, we will have less time to utilize space, so we must be quicker in thinking and decision-making. Kane's absence will not have a big impact because they have top players in every position. His absence will not change our game plan; we are more focused on our own performance."

“Vael Mohia performed brilliantly in his first professional start, but let’s not forget that he is still young and needs to adapt to this level of competition in terms of physicality. However, he handled these demands well and made great progress after a short period of adaptation. Vael Mohia comes to the training ground with a smile every day, is highly engaged, and enjoys the game, which is exactly the attitude we hope to see in him.”

Speaking about the competition for positions on the left wing, Eugen Polanski said, "Recently, it's not about resting Lucas Ulrich, but about using different types of players on the left. Jens Kastrup can bring a different dynamic element to the game, which is especially helpful against very aggressive opponents."

“He performed very well defensively, compressed the space, and fulfilled his responsibilities on the wing very well. Jens Kastrop is a very versatile player who can play in multiple positions, which is very valuable to our team.”
