The criticism is increasing: Terzic is sinking deeper and deeper with BVB

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

When referee Benjamin Brand (34) blew the whistle for the round of 16 of the DFB on Wednesday evening in Stuttgart, you saw bewilderment, anger and frustration on the faces of BVB stars such as Mats Hummels (34) and Marco Reus (34). They have just lost 2-0 after a disgraceful performance. Nothing worked. Captain Emre Can (29) summed up the performance particularly well in the on-field interview: “It was a football catastrophe.”

A new untitled season is looming

This means that Borussia Dortmund will come away empty-handed in the cup for the third time in a row. Things look even bleaker in the Bundesliga. They have been waiting there for eleven years for the opportunity to break the long-term dominance of FC Bayern Munich. This season, the title chances seem to have disappeared after thirteen match days. Currently they are only in fifth place. The black and yellow are already ten points behind leader Leverkusen.

The only glimmer of hope is the early participation in the round of 16 of the Champions League; In any case, in Europe top clubs such as Paris St. Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle United have lagged behind.

Yet it would be too short-sighted to paint an ideal world in Dortmund. The uncertainty within the team is clear. And not only since the recent bankruptcy in Stuttgart. There is hardly any cog that works together with the other. The problems are clearly visible, especially in the defense. Sometimes it seems like everyone is on their own. The simplest bad passes occur in the build-up play.

Coach Terzic is criticized

Why is that? Many German media are increasingly focusing on coach Edin Terzic (41). Accordingly, with his required defensive playing style, the changing tactical systems and questionable positional changes of individual players, he is partly responsible for the sometimes subterranean performances, writes the “Bild”.

Furthermore, unlike their competitors from Leverkusen and Leipzig, there is a lack of a clear playing philosophy and that is why they have signed the right players into their ranks. On the other hand, the newcomers in the Ruhr area – about whose commitments Terzic had a lot of say – are struggling to integrate themselves into the game. Neither Marcel Sabitzer (29) nor Ramy Bensebaini (28) have impressed so far.

Now it is Saturday at home against RB Leipzig. To remain competitive in the championship race, a win is mandatory. Otherwise, a new coach could soon be on the sidelines. (Gentlemen)
