Out in the Champions League, out in the cup. After the disastrous game in Leipzig, BVB only has the hunt for the championship. Coach Edin Terzic becomes clear after the bankruptcy.
At the end of this frustrating evening for Borussia Dortmund, Edin Terzic used a wonderful metaphor. “There is no tomorrow for us in this competition,” said the BVB coach, summing up the end of the DFB Cup. Previously, he had described the 0: 2 at defending champion RB Leipzig as a “shitty evening” and was also right. BVB's performance was somewhere between frightening and out of the question. The guests managed a shot on goal, mind you in stoppage time.
Terzic only praises Kobel
If they didn't lose their composure at BVB after the defeat in Munich and the associated loss of the Bundesliga table lead, Terzic seemed almost shocked after the cup failure. Only goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, who recently made a bad mistake in Munich, was mentioned with praise. They “didn't show a good game collectively,” said the BVB coach. The keeper is “the only one we can take out.”
BVB goalkeeper's mistake ( re.) against Bayern Munich initiates the defeat of his team.
Kobel's serious mistake initiated the painful 4-2 defeat at Bayern Munich last weekend. However, according to Terzic, the Swiss “proved impressively in Leipzig that what happened to him in Munich on Saturday did not affect him.”
The goal is still the championship
Just like Leipzig had gone into the quarter-finals knowing that Bayern Munich was no longer an option. RB coach Marco Rose openly admitted that he had discussed this with his team before the game. “There was a good chance of winning the trophy,” said Terzic. Now Leipzig, Frankfurt, Freiburg and Stuttgart are playing for the trophy.
After losing the Champions League and the cup, BVB now has to fight for the championship. The gap to leaders Munich is two points. But in view of the performance, Terzic did not want to address it: “It would be presumptuous to talk about it. We have to put it straight in terms of performance first.” For him personally it was the first defeat in the DFB Cup. In 2021 he won the cup with BVB in Berlin, the opponent in the final: RB Leipzig. that at that time had no chance.
