NAfter Bayern’s chase is sensitive and frustrated, Dortmund captain provokes Marco Royce In the first setback, there was a tactical argument with coach Marco Rose. “The first half may be completely forgotten,” said the Sky shooter after Leipzig RB’s well-deserved 1:2, and etched in the five-chain system his coach tried: “We can’t handle it, you have to be very clear “The situation got better after switching to the usual four-man platoon defense. “This is more suitable for us because we are more active there,” Reus said.
At the end of the unsatisfactory working day, Dortmund As second in the Bundesliga, four points behind the record champion from Munich. The obvious visceral criticism from Royce clearly shows that under the leadership of the new coach, not everything is good for Dortmund. The critic himself retorted quite harshly: “This is not an issue of the system. We have already scored after three points. The discussion is redundant.”
Why does BVB provide an underground first half in its hometown of Leipzig and can only participate in the game after the conversion can also be made Rose Does not declare watertightness. On the other hand, Leipzig finally celebrated the victory over a great opponent with the excellent Christopher Nkunku and Yusuf Poulsen’s goals-and brought the head coach Jesse Malsch out of the line of fire. “That was a breakthrough. We finally paid off for our hard work,” Emil Forsberg said.
As far as the standings are concerned, this is a successful weekend for Bayern. Dortmund temporarily retreated to the second line, and Leipzig (not yet) behind is in danger. At least Dortmund has two games left in his hands against Munich. In addition, they are also looking forward to the upcoming international match day, which has little to do with two defeats (1:3 against Ajax in the Champions League) in four days.
Rose said: “We are at a stage where something is missing and we won’t do it easily.” Before the first matchup with Bayern in early December, the 45-year-old had three more games to experiment to find the ball. The defensive formation the team wants.Many injured-among other things, missing in Leipzig Erlin Harland, Raphael Guerreiro, Emre Can, Giovanni Reyna and Mahmoud Dahoud-Rose do not want to be used as an argument. “It doesn’t matter to me, otherwise I can look for different things every week,” said the local Leipzig. However, he hopes that “one or the other will come back now.”
The fact that there are defensive problems cannot be generalized. So far, Dortmund has conceded 17 goals, more than any other top team, not only because of the current lack of three left-backs. Rose emphasized that their defense has stabilized. However, it is doubtful whether the zero games he cited against Ingolstadt and Cologne really met Dortmund’s standards.
The best example of wild defensive behavior is Leipzig’s second goal, which Royce correctly described as “stupid”. Only four people from Leipzig performed eight shocked Dortmund audiences in this way, and Poulsen could slide into the long column completely unhindered. After all, Leipzig is now in the Champions League, and the criticized coach Marsch can treat his international match day well. Before the game against Paris (2:2) and Dortmund, although he has maintained an optimistic attitude, he himself may not believe it.
