原文：[8.12.] Borussia Dortmund´s forthcoming fixture next weekend "will be a hard nut to crack." Because their Bundesliga namesakes from Mönchengladbach, and here sports manager Michael Zorc and Matthias Sammer agreed, are clearly on the up.
“Taking on the pace of Gladbach”: Zorc.
"You can see - even though Gladbach have lost the last match - that they are in form, particularly in the running department, and that they now have an outstanding rhythm," said Zorc this afternoon. "This will be a hard nut to crack. Because at home, as seen against Stuttgart, Borussia Mönchengladbach are stepping up the pace. You have to be incredibly solid to compete with them. You have to take on the pace. If you can´t do that you will lose against them."
"Mönchengladbach are clearly on the up," said head coach Matthias Sammer, too. "They didn´t play badly the whole time, but just recently they have come along particularly solid, and now were only unluckily beaten. This will be quite a challenge." Sebastian Kehl, Ewerthon and Guy Demel will be available again for selection on Sunday in BVB´s last away game of the year. Sahr Senesie, who suffered a partial rupture of the posterior ligament in his left knee against Hertha BSC, is currently treated in the Grönemeyer Institute in Bochum. But there are good news about Stefan Reuter. The former BVB skipper had to be substituted against Hertha, but was only having cramps and has already recovered again.
"We know that the situation is difficult and we know that it´s a dangerous one," emphasised Michael Zorc today once again. "But you shouldn´t mention these dangers all the time, but instead try everything to end the year in style."
