BVB crisis: Kehl bursts the collar after a embarrassing defeat!

Dortmund - Borussia Dortmund is more than round in the Champions League. After two match days, the black and yellow have given the table and everything seems to be on the road to success. But appearance is deceptive - the current achievements in the Bundesliga leave a lot to be desired. On this Saturday, BVB against Union Berlin experienced another painful defeat that caused the barrel to overflow with sports director Sebastian Kehl (44).

It seems that the experienced official recognizes a pattern in the last games that visibly stirrows him. After only ten of possible 18 points that the Dortmund collected after six games, and already eleven goals-all in the last four games-the emotions were hard to tame after the 1-2 defeat.

criticism of the defensive

With clear words, Kehl expressed his lack of understanding about his team's defensive performance. "The approach, as we do our goals, shouldn't happen to us," he scolded immediately after the game. For him it is incomprehensible how a team of experienced professionals and national players can appear so uninspired, especially in such a decisive phase of the season.

"We have to defend our goal better. We have to lead our duels better. The first half was simply nothing," continued the sports director. This assessment underlines the great discomfort that is spreading in the BVB camp. Especially the large number of bad passes and the hasty handling of the ball lead to undesirable goals, which significantly worsen the balance sheets. Kehl appealed to the responsibility of his players: "It just doesn't work," and asked for an immediate reaction from the entire team.

also trainer Nuri Sahin (36) critically commented on the goals after the game. "You have to be there from the start at the level. You collect such goals, that can't be," said the coach. His warning is clear: "We are only on the sixth matchday, but if we continue to appear abroad, we will not achieve our goals."

The focus is on the upcoming international break, which offers a way for the Dortmund to calm down and press the reset button. "After the game against St. Pauli, we have to go out three times in a row," added Kehl. To what extent the team can use this time will be shown, but one thing is certain: the pressure is huge.

Overall, Borussia Dortmund is currently in a conflict: While you stand well on the international stage, you threaten to fall behind in the home league. Criticism and personal responsibility are now required to bring about the turn. For Borussia Dortmund, it is to be hoped that the team will find out of this serious curve as quickly as possible.
