Against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, BVB celebrated its first victory under coach Niko Kovač. He attracted attention with his interview after the game.
Nanu, what did he say? Some German football fans should have thought that when they followed BVB coach Niko Kovač’s interview after the victory against Sporting Lisbon. In the first leg of the Champions League playoffs, Borussia Dortmund won 3-0 in Portugal.
The “black and yellow” showed a significant increase in performance, especially in the second half. After the game, coach Kovač wanted to explain to the microphone of the transmission stream service Amazon Prime what exactly his team did so much better in the second section. However, he chose a misleading wording: “You fixed better. We played away too far too far from the chain. That means that the opponent can always do the run, but if you fix the opponent, take it out and then go out and then Playing page, then it’s difficult, “said Kovač’s tactical explanations.
The problem: The English term “fixed”, which in German means as much as fixing or stating, sounds extremely just like a vulgar expression for sexual intercourse.
Accordingly, individual spectators were amazed at the statements of the BVB coach. “Kovač really said when you fuck your opponent and pull him out …?”, Wrote something a user. Another wrote: “Kovač says that BVB fucked the opponent better in the second half.” A third joked: “I would have liked the BVB that the farewell to Nuri Şahin would take the topic of fucking back into the background, but I probably did the bill without Kovac.”
The wording is mainly misleading because the vulgar term is often used as an expression for “getting someone ready”, especially in rap and youth language. There is indeed no doubt that BVB Sporting finished in the second half. Next time Kovač should choose his words to describe this fact more carefully.
