After the painful 1: 4 home debacle against RB Leipzig, there is sadness at Borussia Dortmund. More and more fans are turning away from the current BVB team, but above all from coach Marco Rose. Nevertheless, the club management seems to be still convinced of the trainer.
Like the 5-2 win against Bayer Leverkusen, the 4-0 loss at Ajax Amsterdam, the cup loss in St. Pauli or the 4-2 win against Glasgow Rangers, Borussia Dortmund’s most recent performance was once again a wink with the whole fence . Many supporters believe the team needs a quick, deep upheaval – and a new coach.
There is some evidence: When veteran Mats Hummels declared the BVB season over on Saturday in front of the cameras, some fans yelled “Rose out!” in the background. Already during the game it had become restless in the sold out Signal Iduna Park.
The return of the yellow wall in the south stand, the first game in a full stadium in 763 days – it turned into a disaster. It is all the more remarkable how stoically Michael Zorc, Sebastian Kehl and Co. hold on to the ailing Rose.
According to “kicker”, the native of Leipzig is still “not up for grabs” despite poor results in all cup competitions and a changeable Bundesliga season.
BVB: Marco Rose fails to come up with a solution
At the same time, the decision-makers will not have escaped the notice of how uninformative Rose’s explanations for the total failure after the final whistle were.
“We had big plans and wanted to gain momentum for the final phase. That’s how we slowed ourselves down massively today,” said the 45-year-old, who was absolutely correct, but failed to make any changes before the summer break.
However, should BVB be as confused in the remaining matches as they were against Leipzig, the mood in the Westphalians threatens to change completely. By then at the latest, Rose’s job should also be in danger.
