Thick air in Dortmund: Are the BVB players protesting against coach Terzic?

1/5
BVB coach Edin Terzic is said to have counted his own players.

In the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund closed the group of death with Milan, PSG and Newcastle as group winners. But the performance in the premier class belies the poor performance of the Ruhrpott club this season.

In the Bundesliga, Gregor Kobel (26) and his teammates have won just once in the last seven games, are 14 points behind leaders Leverkusen and four points behind RB Leipzig and the Champions League place.

Players complained about the cup defeat

And: the DFB Cup is already over. A week ago, BVB was eliminated without a chance in the eighth finals against VfB Stuttgart (0:2).

In addition to the unsatisfactory results, Dortmund’s playing style is particularly worrying. “Prior to the season, they had set themselves the goal of becoming Bayern’s number one fighter. They still have a long way to go – and not just in terms of points. “They don’t play good football,” Lothar Matthäus (62) said recently.

And the pundit doesn’t seem to be the only one criticizing Dortmund’s playing style. Even their own players would have complained. Sky reports that some leaders tried to talk to coach Edin Terzic (41) after the cup result in Stuttgart and complained to him. The accusations: Major tactical shortcomings, no match plan and an overly defensive approach.

The stars’ reservations were so great that they were even passed on to club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke (64), but without result.

Coach dismissal is not a discussion

Boss Watzke said nothing to Sky about the protest, but he has often supported his coach in recent days and weeks. A dismissal of the coach is therefore – for the time being – not under discussion.

Watzke and Terzic, who have known each other for a long time, have a friendly relationship. Before Terzic took over the position of BVB coach (2022), he worked in an advisory role at BVB at the request of Watzke. (par)
