The Hamburg manager is wary of the threat from Borussia Monchengladbach and has admitted that the tie will be a testing one for his side.
Rothosen will take on second placed Monchengladbach in their next Bundesliga fixture at the Borussia Park on Friday, February 24. The visitors will be looking to stage a strong comeback after their disappointing home loss to Werder
Bremen last weekend.
Fink claimed that Hamburg have to forget last week’s defeat before going into the fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach. He insisted that the team has played well in the past few weeks and the confidence is still high.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 boss admitted that Lucien Favre’s side are definitely contending for the Bundesliga title this term and getting a result against them would be difficult. However, he insisted that his side is capable of defeating
any team and a win is definitely on the cards for Hamburg.
“We won't get knocked down by the derby defeat. In the previous matches we did everything right, so the confidence is still there. Gladbach are serious title contenders and in great form, but I have no doubt we can pick up points
if we play well,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Bayern Munich player was all praise for Borussia Monchengladbach and insisted that the team has come a long way from the disappointments in the previous campaign. The Foals were fighting to stay in the Bundesliga at
the end of the last season and are now in the race to win the crown in this campaign.
Fink added that a win would be an excellent result for his side and three points would definitely enhance their chances of finishing in the top ten at the end of the season.
“When you see that it's the same group of players who were battling relegation and who are now at the top, you have to take your hat off. It could go that way for us too,” he concluded.
Hamburg are currently 11th on the Bundesliga standings table with 26 points from the 22 games played and have won six times in the ongoing campaign.
