Yesterday, in Frankfurt against Eintracht, the yellow and blacks suffered their third consecutive defeat. “Total trust between us – said the coach -, but I would understand the exemption…”
Crisis. And maybe it doesn’t even give you an idea. Borussia Dortmund, finalists of the last Champions League, are in great difficulty. In the last seven Bundesliga matches they have won just one match. Worse: He lost his last three plays. At home with Leverkusen, away with little Kiel (from which he conceded 4 goals) and with Frankfurt. The yellow and blacks are on the right side of the table and the dismissal of coach Nuri Sahin (the club’s legend as a player) appears inevitable. Indeed: if there was a ready replacement he would probably have already been relieved of his duties.

“I would understand if the club decided to react and sack me, but I also say that for a re-foundation like the one we are experiencing, time is needed – explained Sahin on Friday evening after the defeat against Eintracht -. However, in football, time is it is achieved with victories and performances. We want to build, I would like to do so in the coming years, but to do so we must win. I understand that there are questions about the relationship between me and the team, but there is total trust between us.” The fact is that Dortmund, for the first time since 2017, lost three games in a row in the league. Already last year, in the Bundesliga, he had struggled, finishing only in fifth place. The yellow and blacks qualified for the 2024-25 Champions League only because Germany was second in the UEFA ranking for the season. “The league table doesn’t lie, we’re not a great team,” said captain Emre Can. In reality the team, Champions League aside, has appeared flat for over a year.

Dormund is looking for itself. The team no longer plays with the passion with which it used to transport the public. The club, which in recent months has lost some key figures in the club, seems to have lost its identity. After the Champions League final lost to Real Madrid, quality players and personalities such as Maatsen, Hummels, Reus, Füllkrug and Sancho left. Brandt is unable to take the team by the hand, with Gittens removed the yellow and blacks are not producing new talents. However, even qualification for the European cups is at risk. And Dortmund finds itself in a deep crisis. And maybe it’s even worse than it might seem.
