sport.de accompanies the press conference on Tuesday afternoon (1:00 p.m.) at this point in the detailed LIVE blog.
+++ Özcan about the Bayern bankruptcy +++
“I think it was very difficult for us as a team after the bad start. Mentally we were all there. But if in the end we are lacking in every corner, then it will be difficult against Bayern.”
+++ Özcan about the condition of the team +++
“We played well in the game against FC Bayern. We’ve all grown up compared to last season. We want to show that tomorrow.”
+++ Terzic over Thomas Tuchel +++
“I said that we made a mistake after the game yesterday. I didn’t catch his interview. We spoke very sensibly to each other. We had other topics after the game.”
+++ Terzic about the mood in the team +++
“It was very disappointing on Saturday. We had a lot planned. It was very annoying. We were very honest with each other on Sunday. After the starting phase, our game really began. We were very open and honest with each other and want to get ready for the new one Concentrate on the task. We want to take not only Saturday, but also last season as a warning. But it gives us confidence that we can do better and that it is within us.”
+++ Terzic on the lessons from the first leg +++
“We proved in the first leg that we can compete at this level. It was a wild opening phase. Newcastle were very brave and we countered well. We played a really good game in the first half. We decided to do that “We have to be even more effective tomorrow.”
+++ Terzic about the staff +++
“It’s unchanged. With both Bensebaini and Can we’re looking from day to day. With Can we’re not giving up hope yet. With Bensebaini we hope that it’s enough for tomorrow. He has problems on the back of his thigh.”
+++ Özcan and Terzic are there +++
The two protagonists have just taken the stage in the press center. Now you can get started.
+++ It’s about to start! +++
Edin Terzic and Salih Özcan are expected on the podium in a few minutes.
+++ How does BVB react to the Bayern debacle? +++
On Saturday evening, FC Bayern gave Borussia Dortmund a real lesson. The Westphalians lost 4-0 in their own stadium. Thomas Tuchel’s team once again showed the runner-up the limits.
Has BVB coach Edin Terzic’s team already digested the shock from the top game? The black and yellow can make amends against Newcastle United on Tuesday evening (6:45 p.m.) and take a big step towards the Champions League round of 16. The Bundesliga club is currently in second place in Group F with four points from the first three games.
+++ BVB threatens Can failure against Newcastle United +++
Emre Can and Ramy Bensebaini did not play in the top Bundesliga game against FC Bayern on Saturday. While the newcomer from Gladbach was at least in the squad, the captain was completely missing from the squad. According to the “Ruhr Nachrichten”, the chances of the six-man being used on Tuesday are very low.
Salih Özcan takes responsibility for this. The former Cologne player recently impressed as a clearer and Can replacement in front of the defense. Only against Munich did the Turkish international, like many of his colleagues, have a very dark day. Can the 25-year-old match his performance from previous weeks against Newcastle United?
