After losing to Rangers
On the day after Borussia Dortmund’s Europa League bankruptcy against Glasgow Rangers, sporting director Michael Zorc found clear words for the performance of the Westphalians. At the same time, the 59-year-old made it clear that BVB did not question his coach Marco Rose.
“That’s the normal reflex in the industry, but we’re not going along with this discussion,” Zorc said on Friday afternoon at “sports1quoted. “The coach has our full backing. I see the team as responsible. We don’t have to ask the coaching question here.”

The TV broadcaster “Sky” had previously reported that there was an internal “crisis meeting” between the club managers around managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke, Zorc, license player manager Sebastian Kehl and Rose late Thursday evening.
BVB sports director Zorc: “We played lamely”
Zorc was “still shocked” the day after the home defeat, he told the “image“-Newspaper. “I’m lost for words. It was an embarrassing performance from the first minute to the last, an embarrassing performance. Thursday evening, floodlight game, light drizzle but not too cold, European Cup against a traditional club like Glasgow Rangers – what more could you ask for? But the team didn’t accept the game, wasn’t ready for this duel. If she has balls, she turns that in the second leg. We played sluggishly and didn’t increase the number of strokes at the decisive moment. It was an achievement to be ashamed of!”

After the recent slump against the Rangers, whose squad value is more than four times lower than that of the black and yellow, there is a great need for speech and clarification in Dortmund. Rose took some of the blame for the disappointing performance on Thursday evening and expressed understanding for the growing criticism: “The team acts as the coach thinks they do. I am responsible for the big picture.”
