VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß attributed his team's 2-3 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach to complacency, according to Get German Football News. Hoeneß believes his players became too comfortable after dominating the opening stages. The loss was Stuttgart's fifth Bundesliga defeat in seven matches.

Stuttgart initially dominated the match, with Ermedin Demirovic opening the scoring, but failed to capitalize on subsequent opportunities. Gladbach equalized in the 38th minute and completed a turnaround after the interval. Demirovic's second goal in the 83rd minute was insufficient to prevent defeat.

Hoeneß emphasized that Stuttgart's collapse was a mental issue, with the team becoming too certain of victory. He noted that Gladbach had covered 128 kilometers, demonstrating superior physical commitment. Hoeneß stated that Stuttgart needed to rediscover consistency and determination to win Bundesliga matches.

Source context

VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has suggested that complacency contributed to his team’s disappointing 2-3 home defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday evening. The 44-year-old believes his players may have become too comfortable after dominating the opening stages against the Bundesliga’s previously pointless bottom club. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Hoeneß acknowledged that Gladbach fully deserved their first victory of the season. The Stuttgart head coach particularly highlighted the visitors’ superior physical commitment, noting that Alexander Blessin’s team had covered approximately 128 kilometers over the course of the match. “The statistics show it as well. They covered 128 kilometers, significantly more than us, even though we didn’t exactly cover a small distance ourselves.” Stuttgart appeared well positioned to secure a much-needed Bundesliga victory when Ermedin Demirovic opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
