After the 3: 3 in Stuttgart, the frustration was great. Now BVB is going into the final sprint of the season with an unusual tone. Both the sports director and the trainer are calling for the championship title as a goal.
After the embarrassing setback a week ago in Stuttgart, BVB coach Edin Terzic is going into the final sprint for the title with declarations of war.
“Many of our players are closer than ever to the championship trophy. And we don’t want to let this chance pass us by. There are only six games left. That means we should start grabbing this chance with everything we have as soon as possible “said football teacher Edin Terzic before the Bundesliga second game on Saturday against Eintracht Frankfurt (6.30 p.m. / Sky).
In the duel with the Hessians, who have been without a win for seven games, Dortmund want to make amends for the much-discussed 3: 3 in Stuttgart a week ago, where they scored a 2-0 lead despite an early dismissal for VfB professional Konstantinos Mavropanos (39th minute). lost leadership. “We won’t achieve anything with a little less effort. The past has shown that,” commented Terzic, referring to Borussia’s poor performance last matchday.
Terzic hopes for a defiant reaction
The 40-year-old hopes that the team will react defiantly and reminded his professionals of the narrow two-point deficit to leaders FC Bayern: “If we assume that the situation we are in now will come again next year or in two years , we are out of place. We have to defend the situation we have now wholeheartedly.” He added aggressively: “We will not only approach the task with respect, but also with greed and a portion of anger. If we want to achieve our goal, we have to win this game.”
Like Terzic, sports director Sebastian Kehl gave up the usual verbal restraint in Dortmund at the beginning of the week and announced the championship title as his goal. “We were criticized for being very humble about this topic. But we said before the season that we wanted to play for titles. And now we still have a chance to play for a title,” said Terzic.
Whether the coach can fall back on the two national defenders Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle and attacker Anthony Modeste on Saturday remains questionable for the time being. “All three were able to increase their intensities. We still have to wait a bit. But there is a chance that everyone will be there,” commented Terzic.
The most recent home record with eight wins is encouraging. Borussia have never had nine successes in a row in their own stadium in a Bundesliga season.
