Dortmund coach Sahin after the cup exit: That hurts extremely!

In a dramatic cup fight, Borussia Dortmund suffered a painful defeat against VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday evening! Coach Nuri Sahin was visibly upset after the 0-1 lead in extra time. "What am I supposed to say here? That it doesn't hurt? Of course it hurts extremely," the 36-year-old admitted at the press conference. The Dane Jonas Wind decided the duel in the 117th minute and put BVB in a deeper crisis - that was already the fourth defeat in the last five competitive games!

Particularly bitter for Dortmund: the away record is devastating! With this defeat, the team has now lost five away games in a row across all competitions. However, Sahin did not see his team alone in the debt swamp. “The boys sacrificed themselves,” said the coach, defending his squad, which had been severely weakened. Despite the serious injury situation and the current mental state, he found his players' performance to be positive.

Kehl supports Sahin

But there are also bright spots! Sports director Sebastian Kehl supported Sahin: "We will stand together. We will get through this together." The trust in Sahin is unbroken - according to his own statement, he feels this feeling “a thousand percent”. In the midst of the sporting misery, those responsible seem to want to take a clear course, while the pressure on the players to rehabilitate themselves quickly increases!
