DFB Cup
“Actually an attack”: Brutal foul on couto shocked BVB
Seconds before the final whistle in the cup game between BVB and Rot-Weiß Essen, an unsightly scene occurred. The Dortmund professional Yan Couto was victim.
Niko Kovac was served. The violent foul by Essen Kelsey Owusu against his professional Yan Couto was really troubled by the head coach of Borussia Dortmund. “I have to honestly say: You don’t go like this. I don’t want to assume any intention, but that is negligent, that’s grossly negligent. Actually, that’s an attack,” said Kovac after the arduous 1-0 (0: 0) at the third division Rot-Weiss Essen in the ARD.
Foreign train player Couto had to be brought off the lawn after the final whistle. He threatens a failure. BVB is weakened anyway in defense and on the outer positions.
No red card for violent foul on BVB professional
“I hope it didn’t happen too much, he has severe pain, we have to wait, but I am still confident that it may only be a very strong bruise in quotes,” said Kovac. The trainer reported in the press conference: “Yan is now in the cabin and has an ice cream bag on his knee.”
Owusu saw the yellow card for violent getting in. A correction to a dismissal by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is not possible because this is not available in round one and two of the DFB Cup. Essen coach Uwe Koschinat criticized: “It is unforgivable when a player gets so hard.”
Dortmund’s sports director Sebastian Kehl also addressed the foul. He first spoke of “a clear red card”. When he ended his explanations in the interview zone, Kehl turned back to the journalists and added a serious expression that it was “a brutal foul”.
Racist comments against Owusu
After the game, the Instagram channel of Rot-Weiß Essen reached such violent and sometimes racist insults that the third division in the social medium temporarily deactivated the comment function.
“I think it is unforgivable when a player gets so hard. But it is not unforgivable because the player is dark -skinned, but because the action is simply shit,” said Koschinat in all clarity.
