The BVB continues to stir through the Bundesliga disoriented and has long since reached the table in the no man’s land. There are several reasons for the crash of black and yellow. Those responsible see a very decisive team in a prominent part of the team.
The effort was not to be discussed on Saturday under coach Niko Kovac on Saturday. The result against VfB Stuttgart, as so often in the past few weeks, was the same: a defeat. For the Dortmund, the 1-2 was already the fifth competitive game in the current calendar year. Once again it was shown that many of the black and yellow stars are simply unable to call up their potential in the important moments.
The Dortmund responsible people know about this weakness. According to the “Bild” information, the weak appearances of the team are therefore rated significantly more critically than outside, where many things have been talked about in the past few weeks and repeatedly emphasized positive approaches, although there were hardly any viewed.
BVB bosses complain about the “most dangerous midfield” of the league
What the bosses have also found: One of the biggest weaknesses of the team is the prominently occupied midfield. Internally, there should even be talk of the “most dangerous midfield” of the league. A devastating judgment that affects Julian Brandt, Marcel Sabitzer and newcomer Pascal.
The trio was on the pitch for 4055 minutes in the current Bundesliga season. Overall, however, the trio only scored three goals (all from Brandt) and eight templates. On average, Brandt, Sabitzer and Groß record a goal participation every 368 minutes. In other words, only in every fourth game is the Dortmund midfield axis directly involved in one goal. This is not only too little in the eyes of those responsible.
At least the possibility of adjusting at the headquarters did not allow the Dortmund to pass on the winter transfer market. With Carney Chukwuemeka, Daniel Svensson and Salih Öczan, three new midfielder were signed. The chance that at least one of them radiates a little more goal than particularly large and Sabitzer is high.
