One of the decisive situations in Gladbach was the dismissal for Dortmund’s Mahmoud Dahoud. Mats Hummels is clear about this.
After Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 defeat by Borussia Mönchengladbach, BVB defense chief Mats Hummels spoke about Mahmoud Dahoud’s dismissal – and did not mince his words.
“He knows that he screwed up big shit. Yellow-red because of complaining when behind in Gladbach: There is no excuse for that,” said Hummels Sky.
Dahoud flew off the pitch in Borussia-Park three minutes after Denis Zakaria’s goal of the day with yellow-red (40th). The Dortmund midfielder came too late against Gladbach’s Joe Scally and then waved to referee Deniz Aytekin.
When Hummels was shown the scene, he felt the foul was too little for a yellow card: “Wow, that’s little. It’s stupid to give the referee the chance to make a wrong decision. It’s stupid to give him the chance but to send him down for it is wrong. For me it is not a dismissal, but it gives the referee the opportunity to show yellow in accordance with the rule. “
BVB coach Rose: “A theme of the line”
BVB coach Marco Rose also spoke about the expulsion after the game: “If a player were to answer a referee’s decision like this during training, I would have problems with it. But for me it is a matter of the line. Then I have to do it in all of them Bundesliga games and every weekend. The principle is correct, as coaches and players we have to take responsibility. But pick someone to set an example – either everyone or nobody! “
Hummels also commented on the game itself, in which Dortmund had to do without the ailing Marco Reus (capsule irritation in the knee) and Erling Haaland (muscular problems). “Erling and Marco were of course very missing today. It would have taken a bit more hardness and will. We lacked penetration aggressively. We would have needed a bit more physicality,” said the 32-year-old.
However, Hummels agreed with the defensive performance and commitment: “We were good in the defensive duels, in the second half we did it with commitment and discipline. We had three, four, five situations, nothing imperative, but we have one demonstrated good will. “
