Dortmund and Frankfurt want to the pot
The football coach, Thomas Tuchel, is not very easy. Because a number of sports have been fellow journalists bite the teeth. “I feel a great peace,” says the 30 hours before the starting whistle of the DFB Cup final in Berlin. It could be that it will be his last game for Borussia Dortmund. The partially publicly-term dissent between him, Tuchel, and his boss, the BVB CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is also a title win is not out of the world.
But no, the games at the Moment, none of that will matter, says Tuchel, not even the rumors of a departure of the top Star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. “Because you know more than I,” he replies, a Brazilian reporter, responded to the alleged change of his Goalscorer to Paris. Rather, the coach refers to prior to the game against Eintracht Frankfurt (in the DW-live coverage from 20:00 CEST) on the great cohesion in his Team.
Not only to Berlin…
The events in this season and he says well, first of all, the bomb attack on the team bus before the Champions League quarter-final against AS Monaco in April – have “for a lot of, a lot of glue taken care of within the team that has made exceptional reactions and developments through in – between the players and me.” And the proof for this Thesis Tuchel to provides: “It is not possible to bring such benefits, if not given.”
In spite of a lot of glue, probably soon no longer active: top-striker Aubameyang and Dortmund coach Tuchel
The Dortmund full of Confidence looking to the Finale, even if it has lost the last three DFB-Cup finals in series all of them. “We are now been very often here, had to go back, but then go home empty-handed,” says captain Marcel Schmelzer. “It is so that we can play, in any case, this is the experience from the last final in the game.” Especially mental the switch is to be killed, reported Thomas Tuchel: “Last year was this great goal: We want to go to Berlin, this year we want to return to Berlin, but to win there.”
Frankfurt’s Meier has Cup experience
The want to be the Frankfurt-mate Nico Kovac: “At the end of each player and coach will be charged at titles – and it is quite good if you are on his CV (curriculum vitae, i.e. Red), that you have achieved something.” For Kovac to be a success in his home town would be something very Special, and his first as a coach. And for harmony at last to go, after 29 years, the time passed.
So it is for Frankfurt captain Alexander Meier, “the biggest game of my career”. He stood in a young age, even in a final was in 2006, but with its frankfurters just FC Bayern. Thus Meier in his career on exactly the same number of titles such as Superstar Marco Reus. The tragic Hero would finally be countable on his business card. “We deserve to play here,” says the left, “we have this year experienced a lot of negative stuff and still came out.”
That Reus will remain in Dortmund, is relatively safe. Whether with or without a title. And Tuchel, hard to see Through? “After this season to win the Cup would be a special final point,” muses the. What does he mean?
