A sort ofYussuf Poulsen tells the players that his goal will not cause them enough damage Dortmund Say a few more poisonous words on the way home. “I have never seen a game in Dortmund, they made so many mistakes in the game,” Poulsen said after making a significant contribution to Leipzig’s 2-1 victory over Dortmund. What he didn’t say resonated imperceptibly in the message, but his voice was loud: dealing with this weak opponent has never been so easy. As experts in such assessments, the Danish international is likely to be consulted. In Leipzig, he has recently participated in exciting duels with BVB.In the most recent meeting, Dortmund still clearly leads with a 4-1 goal, which was in the final. DFB-Pokal.
According to the generally accepted view that Bayern is the undisputed king of German football, the dispute between RB Leipzig and Dortmund on the issue of succession is the most intense in recent years. Not only in terms of sports, but also in favor of potential participants, the two competitors fought at the sight level. Sometimes the ending of BVB is happier, sometimes the ending of Leipzig is better. On the other hand, Saturday’s meeting was not as close as Leipzig 2-1 suggested. “We invested too little to win such a game,” Marco Royce said. The lack of will is not the only thing that annoys the Dortmund captain, he has achieved a temporary and completely surprising equalizer.
trainer Marco Rose Once relied on a system of three central defenders, when they held the ball, they got the support of their outside players. These three or five chains are not suitable for Reus at all. “With Five Chains, there is one less person in our center who can put pressure on us. We can’t get along. You have to know this,” Reus said on Sky TV. Leipzig passed Christopher Nkunku 1-0 as evidence. Before the goal was a pass from central defender Josip Gvardiol, he was able to dribble the ball first and then pass the ball unrestricted. The Dortmund team standing around did not take any action to put pressure on Leipzig in this scene.
Coach Rose did not want to accept clear criticism from his captain. He mentioned his lack of implementation of the norms. “The basic order is always one thing, and the movement in the basic order is always another thing. It’s not good today. This is not a systemic problem. We have scored with a three-pointback this season. The discussion is idle. “Ross said. At BVB, you are currently making yourself uncomfortable in the fall, just like someone voluntarily opens all windows after heating. This week, the borrowed Marine Pangrasic made a serious attack on his actual employer Wolfsburg and also revealed some inside information that was not very happy in Dortmund.
The injury list is too long
For example, the striker Erlin Harland’s absence may be longer than the six weeks initially assumed. Without the most dangerous attacker, Dortmund struggled in the game much worse than it was right. In the UEFA Champions League, there were two clear losses against Ajax Amsterdam, and entering the round of 16 is uncertain. In the Bundesliga, performance is ups and downs, but at least the scoring rate is right. After the defeat in Leipzig, they again fell behind Bayern by four points.Then there is the open disagreement between coach Rose and the captain Reus At the worst.
Rose took over the team from Edin Terzic in the summer, who is now the technical director of BVB. After a good start, Rose made Dortmund’s injury problem more and more difficult.beside Harland Emre Can has also been missing for a long time. Mats Hummels is in poor health and has been struggling throughout the season. He has almost never really gotten rid of the pain. In Leipzig, Rafael Guerrero, Marius Wolf and Nico Schultz lack three possible left-backs. Many failures meant that despite the tight schedule, Rose always had to bet on the same players.
“We put a lot of effort into fighting Ajax. Recovery time is short and we have very few players. Most of them have to try again, even if they have been up and running for 90 minutes. You don’t have to find excuses. But that is part of it. You noticed today that it lacks the vitality and sharpness it needs,” said Gregor Köbel, Dortmund’s best goalkeeper in Leipzig. Kobel said that the upcoming international match day is good for the team. Coach Rose will also use this time. Many problems need to be solved. More than coach Dortmund wanted.
