Mike Tullberg fulfilled his job as an interim coach at BVB and handed over to Niko Kovač. Dietmar Hamann found his action in front of the curve inappropriate.
Borussia Dortmund won almost 2-1 at 1st FC Heidenheim on Saturday. After the end of the game, the focus was on interim coach Mike Tullberg. The U19 coach of the BVB ran jubilately towards their own supporters, repeatedly reached onto the black and yellow BVB hoodies, knocked on the heart, clapped the fist in front of the curve. Sports director Sebastian Kehl spoke of a “heart affair for him”. Sky expert Dietmar Hamann didn’t like the scene.
He told the TV station after the end of the game: “Tullberg always said that Kovač is coming and ‘it’s not about me’. And everything he said in the press conferences, he refuted that today. Because when I saw the pictures I thought: it’s about you. Note d. Red.). I find it embarrassing. “
Tullberg visibly enjoyed the cheers of the Dortmund fans. Sky expert Erik Meijer found the scenes “exaggerated”. Hamann said: “For me, he was still over the top. He had three games, did not win against Bremen. He beat Donetsk, who are beaten in the Champions League and won in Heidenheim.”
Hamann was particularly bothered by the intensity of the jubilation and the way of appearing Tullberg: “I thought when he cheered that he scored the two goals himself. Go to the curve.
In the Bundesliga, BVB is still under pressure despite the victory. The Niko Kovač team ranked behind the top positions in the table and fights for the qualification for the Champions League. Dortmund is in tenth place and has 29 points in the account. Fifth place lacks VfB Stuttgart in fifth place.
