Borussia Dortmund is missing a leader on the pitch. As “Bild” reports, there should be the first voices that address the absence of Mats Hummels.
Borussia Dortmund is in crisis! The team often appears noticeably leaderless on the pitch. The result is sobering: under new coach Nuri Sahin, BVB is only in seventh place after eight games.
A report from “Bild” underlines the dilemma: According to this, the first players are of the opinion that Mats Hummels is missing.
The defensive veteran left BVB for Rome after last season. The fact is that as a leader, Hummels always opened his mouth, put his finger in the wound and his words carried weight in the locker room.
This is exactly what Dortmund is missing in the current situation.
BVB: Feeling sorry for Emre Can?
Also because Emre Can doesn’t perform the role of captain well enough. As the report states, Can is popular in the dressing room, but his situation is now reportedly causing pity among some teammates. Scenes are said to have recently been shown internally in which he didn’t look good, but admitted his mistakes.
As it is said, the team is said to doubt that Julian Brandt can step in as vice-captain to take on the leadership role and lead the way.
There is also the situation surrounding Donyell Malen, who wanted to leave the club last summer but did not receive a suitable offer from his old management.
The 25-year-old has therefore separated from the “SEG” agency and apparently he still wants to leave. It is still unclear who will be planning to leave next summer.
Due to the current results and leadership crisis, there is speculation that not only Malen, but also Can and Brandt could leave.
