After five competitive wins in a row, BVB is in a good mood at the moment. Even the championship can still be dreamed of. Before the Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen, Dortmund coach Edin Terzic will answer journalists’ questions on Friday afternoon.
sport.de accompanies the press conference from 12:00 p.m in the detailed LIVE blog.
+++ Terzic about Dahoud +++
I don’t notice that he’s concerned with the contract situation. He’s getting more and more stable every day and getting more and more rhythm into his game. He’s already shown how important he is. We would have 0,0 problems putting him in the starting XI tomorrow.
+++ Terzic on the “ox defense” with Süle, Hummels and Schlotterbeck +++
I’ll think about naming my boys that now. But I won’t say more about it.
+++ Terzic about filling jug +++
He has a really good goal rate. There is hardly a player in the Bundesliga who is so outstanding in terms of efficiency. In addition, he is a target player and also extremely dangerous on crosses. He has extreme strengths there. We will show tomorrow how we intend to get a grip on him.
+++ Terzic on the defense +++
With Bochum’s style of play, we preferred Süle on the right flank. We needed physique in set pieces. Otherwise we would have been much smaller after the Wolf retirement.
+++ Terzic about Bellingham +++
He played a lot. It’s not like he goes into every game completely pain free. If you have such an intense style of play, it leaves its mark. But Bellingham makes a very stable impression and he is ready to give everything for 90 minutes tomorrow.
+++ Terzic about Werder Bremen +++
They’re doing really well, we’ve seen that. We’ve felt it ourselves in the past. It’s similar to Bochum or Augsburg. They have fast players and players who are good at combining. They make a stable impression.
+++ Terzic about the Adeyemi replacement +++
Of course we’re concerned about the starting XI. But you have to be patient for at least 24 hours.
+++ Terzic about Can +++
He has worked very hard on his fitness. He is pain free. He plays an extremely important role, plus his high pace. He’s doing exceptionally well right now and feeling really good. A fit can helps any team.
+++ Terzic on the personnel situation +++
Wolf was in severe pain on Wednesday. He felt better yesterday. Today we want to wait and see. If that goes well, we’ll take him with us. Otherwise there are no changes in the squad.
+++ Here we go +++
BVB trainer Edin Terzic enters the podium and welcomes the journalists present.
+++ Does BVB coach Edin Terzic have to rotate against Werder Bremen? +++
The narrow 2-1 victory against VfL Bochum in the DFB Cup during the week must have been exhausting. Thus, some changes in the starting eleven are possible. The occupation of the central defense should be particularly exciting. With Mats Hummels, Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck, Edin Terzic has a well-known selection.
There is also the question of whether Marco Reus will return to the starting XI against Werder. On Wednesday, the BVB captain initially sat on the bench. After his substitution, the national player was able to shine with the goal to win 2-1. Will the 33-year-old return to Borussia’s starting XI for the guest appearance in Bremen or will Reus have to be content with the role of joker for the time being?
+++ Is BVB celebrating their fifth Bundesliga win in a row? +++
The start of the new year went almost perfectly for BVB. Four wins from four Bundesliga games after the long winter break brought Borussia Dortmund back into the Champions League within a very short time. With a win against Werder Bremen, the third in the table could further increase the pressure on Bayern.
But it won’t be a sure-fire success against Ole Werner’s team. With victories against VfL Wolfsburg and VfB Stuttgart, SVW is still unbeaten in the second half. The bottom of the table presented itself defensively very solid and offensively with a merciless effectiveness. How does BVB want to crack Bremen on Saturday?
