Brandt calls on BVB to put an end to away defeats!
After the devastating fourth away defeat this season, Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt has had enough! The national player expressed his displeasure about the constant bankruptcies and called on his teammates to finally break the spell. "The goal has to be to break this spell at some point because I don't feel like constantly going home from cities with a defeat in my luggage. That gets on my nerves and feels annoying," Brandt said after the 1:3 defeat against FSV Mainz 05.
With this defeat, BVB slipped to a disappointing seventh place in the table and now has 16 points. “That’s sobering,” Brandt continued. He demands that the team must create a better starting position for the second half of the year in the remaining games in November and December. The pressure is increasing because the first win of the season abroad is still missing!
Clear words from Kehl
Sports director Sebastian Kehl also left no doubt about the situation. "The fact is that we haven't won five away games. We know that there is of course criticism, and we are also not satisfied with the fact that we have already suffered four defeats," explained the 44-year-old. Despite the serious situation, Kehl emphasized that they did not want to have a fundamental discussion. Instead, it is important to concentrate on the challenges ahead.
The gap to league leaders Bayern Munich is already ten points, which severely limits their chances of fighting for the title. "I'm not going to deal with Bayern now. That's not my topic at the moment," said Kehl resolutely. Instead, he plans to “move forward step by step” after the international break and create a good starting position for the new beginning in January. Time is running out and the pressure on the team is growing!
