After just five points from the last six Bundesliga games, BVB is in danger of losing touch with the Champions League places. Record national player Lothar Matthäus calls for a clear analysis of those responsible, who in his eyes should also discuss the future of coach Edin Terzic.
After the 15th matchday, BVB is back where it was almost exactly a year ago – and where it definitely didn’t want to go again: far away from the top of the table and very far away from its own expectations. After the 1-1 draw in Augsburg, the Borussia team is threatened with an intensification of the coaching discussion in the coming days. If Lothar Matthäus has his way, this is unavoidable.
“Christmas won’t be so reassuring in Dortmund, despite this great Champions League season. Eliminated in the cup, far behind expectations in the championship – not just in terms of points, especially in terms of performance,” Matthäus summarized the status quo on “Sky”. the black and yellow team together on Saturday.
Matthäus criticizes BVB performances
Above all, Dortmund’s poor performance was “the worst thing” for him, explained the record national player, who also spoke to the hearts of many BVB fans. “If I play well and then miss a point, then at least I’m happy with the performance. But they just don’t perform,” said Matthäus.
The TV expert said that Dortmund are “very far away” from their big goal of being Bayern’s number one hunter: “Not just in terms of points.”
For this reason, Matthäus is also expecting a crisis meeting in the Borussia office next week after the last game in 2023. The record national player is convinced that “the coach will also be discussed there.”
“…then we have to discuss the coach”
The results in the Champions League clearly speak for Terzic, but those in the league also clearly speak against the trainer. “If you only have to judge the Bundesliga, then the coach also needs to be discussed,” emphasized Matthäus.
After the 15th matchday, BVB is only in fifth place with 26 points and a goal difference of +5. This means that the yield is almost identical to that of last season. At that time, the Black and Yellows had 25 points with a goal difference of +4 after 15 match days.
