Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League game with Inter Milan, the Shorter – and, although goalkeeper Roman Bürki keeps a penalty. Captain Marco Reus is missing at all corners and Ends.
If you want to understand how things are currently in the Dortmund soccer soul, then you have to take a look at this mild autumn evening in Italy. Away game in the legendary Guiseppe Meazza stadium. The opponent is Inter Milan. Anticipation pure with every BVB-Fan. It tingles. And it is a kind of preliminary decision – BVB could move into the Champions League, preliminary round group F on six points. BVB sporting Director Michael Zorc says things like: “We know that the two games against Inter are hugely important. As it comes to the decision on who goes next.” Not a difficult prediction, because the other big Name of the group of FC Barcelona is.
In the preparation of the first doubt, then one or the other Fan. Julian Brandt as a Central striker? The the field has. Mario Götze is really better? However, the is in the Bank. And what is the worst: captain Marco Reus is not here, because of a flu-like infection.
Harmless, without any ideas, empty of blood
Then the game begins. From the outset, is clear: Dortmund is deep and the typical Italian game try to From a secured Defensive forward play. Only the Defensive line is not secured. In the 22. Minute, Lautaro Martinez for Inter-advantage of the first Chance for 1:0, because Niko Schulz cancels the Offside.
Scorer Lautaro Martinez (R) clenches the fist: 1:0 for Inter
In a game in which there was no amount of points in the Inter-BVB einlullte, will be collected by the BVB goal. Up to this point, BVB false passports, a body language, which impressed no one and made an appearance, which is harmless, action and blood is revealed comes up empty, therefore. There is a lack of creativity, it shows in every Minute. And there is a lack of courage.
Favre’s Problem: He is the Anti-Klopp
Courage that would stand the players in these big Games well. But to do so they would have to release the hand-brake, even in the Bundesliga. There, Dortmund on four, with three draws and one defeat from eight Games. The Fans murmur Favre whether the anxious-looking orientation from Trainer Lucien. Publicly and officially, the Swiss, however, is not in the criticism.
The Swiss is an Anti-Klopp. He acts reserved, quiet, without fanfare, the wish of the supporters of the gallery but from a full heart. Snap the winning goal, give a boost to on the side line, to the front of the lashes at a prospect of winning – as Ex-Coach Jürgen Klopp, who is now training for the Liverpool FC. Furious power soccer, spectacle, lots of goals. Finally, a title to finally play along in the concert of Europe.
Bürki keeps the penalty
On the big stage but it seems to be still too large. Some players show nerves in Milan at this level. Ironically, the experienced Mats Hummels, has been brought back to stabilise the defence of Bavaria, concedes a penalty for Inter, the goalkeeper Roman Bürki but can parry (82.).
The Rest of the team won a couple of chances, but Inter-power, which dominate Italian teams simply good: the Zero keep. And a counter cold to complete. Antonio Candreva power in the 89. everything is clear and worried for the 2:0 (1:0)-final.
Antonio Candreva with his goal to 2:0 just before the end, everything is clear
For example, the ball draws at the end of the table – Inter-attracts the same. Both Teams now have four points on the account. And the head of the BVB-license game Department, Sebastian Kehl said afterwards on Sky: “At the gate, we sleep, otherwise we have allowed little. Today we were certainly not two goals worse. In two weeks we will get more opportunities. I am confident that we can beat Inter then.” In the return game on 5. November should present to the BVB a little bolder. Maybe it is something with the big Play.
