Patrick Herrmann from Borussia Mönchengladbach sees the corona crisis and the targeted ghost games in the Bundesliga as a mental challenge. “The decisive factor is the head, the will. I am convinced that this applies in general to the rest of the season. Everyone has to come to terms with this unusual situation as best as possible. The head will play the most important role,” he told the “kicker”.
“Completely different, very strange feeling”
He also sees the special situation in the stadium as a difficult key role that the players have to deal with. The striker continued: “The huge stadium, but at the same time this silence – that is a completely different, very strange feeling. No fans who go out when you unpack a great tackle or do a cool action. No one who supports you wears when the legs get heavy. “
Herrmann has already played against Cologne in the empty Borussia Park. He compares the situation with test games in camera. “You can’t compare the atmosphere with them at all,” he told the “kicker”. However, he also emphasized that he supports games in front of empty ranks: “Ghost games would be absolutely okay for me, especially if it is the only way to end the season.”
