Upside down world in the expert analysis of Borussia Dortmund’s performance this season so far: After BVB coach Edin Terzic has received the most criticism in the last few weeks, this time “Sky” expert Dietmar Hamann delivered a strong all-round blow against several of the professionals Black and yellow.
Borussia Dortmund’s draw in Augsburg on Saturday (1-1) marked another disappointment for the runner-up, who started the season with high ambitions. BVB is already five points behind in fifth place in the Champions League, which is why there has been repeated criticism of the fluctuating performance of the black and yellow team, who impressed internationally but often disappointed in the league. The favorite target of anger: Edin Terzic.
But according to TV expert Dietmar Hamann, “you are doing the coach an injustice because he is too often let down by the players,” explained Hamann on “Sky”. However, the former Bundesliga professional also made an appeal to Terzic: “I would like him to intervene.”
The 41-year-old is “too good”. And if Terzic couldn’t do that, sports director Sebastian Kehl or BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke would have to take action. For Hamann there is enough reason for this.
“We now have a situation in Dortmund: you look at him [Marcel] Sabitzer, that [Felix] Nmecha and [Ramy] “Bensebaini – no performance, the whole preliminary round,” the 50-year-old clearly criticized the summer newcomers.
While Hamann remembered wistfully former Dortmund players such as Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham, he concluded that “everyone else who came to Dortmund has become worse.”
Hamann: Brandt as a “prototype of the BVB problem”
According to the TV expert, the BVB professionals will “soon have the HSV syndrome,” so that all the players they bring in will become worse.
Players, like the aforementioned trio or Emre Can, whom Hamann also named, “who shine through non-performance” should be told: “‘You can earn good money with us, but you also have a responsibility’. And that The players are not living up to their responsibility at the moment,” Hamann put his finger in the wound.
Julian Brandt, who was still outstanding at the start of the season, also got his fat removed from the “Sky” expert. “Where did Brandt perform? Sometimes he has three good games, then he’s the failed genius again and then you don’t see him for six weeks,” he said.
Brandt is “the prototype of Borussia Dortmund’s problem,” analyzed Hamann and explained: “When things are going well, they are wonderful and can all play football, but we can all do that. If things aren’t going well, you need the guys who lead the way. “
