Football Bundesliga: Another BVB setback-Tullberg still remains for the time being

For the time being, Borussia Dortmund does not find any way out of the crisis, but initially sticks to interim coach Mike Tullberg. The Danish U19 coach is to look after BVB after the bitter 2: 2 (1-0) on Saturday against Werder Bremen on Wednesday in the Champions League against Schachtar Donetsk.

“That was actually clear before. But I told him that it was about Bremen game because I wanted to have a hundred percent of Mike Tullberg-and we got that too,” said BVB managing director Lars Ricken after the First point win in the fifth competitive game this year.

However, the tie for the Dortmund is not satisfactory. Three days after the separation from Nuri Sahin, Felix Nmecha was injured early and Nico Schlotterbeck saw the red card because of an emergency brake after just 20 minutes. The combative convincing Dortmunders took the lead through Serhou Guirassy (28th) and an own goal of Marco Friedl (51st) 2-0.

In the end, two former Dortmunders made it for the compensation for long harmless guests. Leonardo Bittencourt (65th) and Marvin Ducksch (72nd) met for Werder. This means that they also remain in the table in front of the tumbling Dortmunders in the table in 2025.

Again runs against Dortmund

A lot ran against BVB early on at the Tullberg premiere. For the injured NMECHA, the recently weak Marcel Sabitzer came into the team. The Austrian was one of four players who had taken Tullberg out of the starting eleven compared to the sobering 1: 2 at Bologna FC in the Champions League. Immediately after this bankruptcy, Sahin had been on leave.

It came even harder nine minutes later: Defense chief Schlotterbeck was expelled after an emergency brake against Bremen’s Marco Grüll by referee Christian Dingert of the field. This was already the fifth dismissal for the black yellow – no other team has received more red cards so far this season.

After a good 20 minutes, Tullberg was missing the two best players in the past few weeks of an otherwise completely unsettled team. He wanted to see a team that “tears” the actual U19 coach of the Dortmund before the game. “You can make mistakes, but then you repair them in full sprint, with drooling in the mouth, with a knife between the teeth,” the Dane had formulated significantly.

And the decimated team fought against the early resistance. Guirassy headed for the lead for BVB seven minutes after the dismissal after preliminary work by the Bremer Julian Brandt native.

Even after the change of sides, Werder showed few efforts to demand the Dortmund, which was released in the year with four defeats. The second goal was the guests in the person of central defender Friedl on the net.

The passion that Tullberg had demanded from his team before the game had consistently lived on the sidelines. As if from senses, he sprinted along on the edge of the field after the 2-0, screamed and pored his fists in the air again and again.

But his team had to suffer. As if out of nowhere, the previously harmless guests came back through a dream goal. The substitute Bittencourt chased a direct acceptance from a good 20 meters unsustainable into the upper Toreck. Suddenly the guests were there and actually equalized seven minutes later. At the preparatory work by Jens Stage, the native of Dortmund completed 2-2.

Afterwards nothing came of the ten Dortmunders. BVB only defended one point. Despite the renewed setback, sports director Ricken sees no pressure to quickly find a permanent Sahin successor. “We take the necessary time and are currently excellently positioned with Mike Tullberg,” said Ricken.

The Dortmund fans made a clear position before the game and also criticized the club tour. “Addressing elephants in the room. Problems are not on the sidelines,” said a poster that could be seen in the south stand.
