At BVB, nobody could really be happy about the runner-up at the weekend. The 0: 4 home defeat against TSG Hoffenheim on the last day was too embarrassing. Sports director Michael Zorc is tough on Borussia Dortmund’s listless professionals.
The 57-year-old let off some steam in the “kicker”. “It was completely without tension. We played like on a tour after the season. An embarrassing performance,” rumbled Zorc.
After all, one could draw some conclusions from the team’s refusal to work. “The game opened our eyes to what we need to work on next year,” said the manager.
Already in the third to last game against Mainz 05 (0: 2) the BVB had disappointed across the board and raised initial doubts about the attitude of some stars. Now the critics received new food.
A bitter aftertaste remains at BVB
Zorc emphasized that it would make no sense “to hit the hammer now”, after all the season had been positive overall. A bitter aftertaste remains.
One does not want to stay in Dortmund with the work of the past weeks. This is “more of an issue for next season,” said Zorc.
BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke had already tried to explain the debacle against Hoffenheim on Sunday.
“The victory in Leipzig the weekend before caused a total drop in voltage. There were a lot of young players on the pitch. Nothing worked anymore. In addition, there was again the lack of a home advantage with 81,000 fans behind them apologize anyway, that’s clear, “said the 61-year-old in the” Sport1 “double pass.
It was not about “that the players no longer felt like it. But they could no longer flip the switch. We simply had a bad day,” Watzke admitted.
