BVB shows how far they are from being a top team – and fails in the second round of the DFB Cup. Sports director Kehl delivers a telling confession.
After all, immediately after the final whistle, the Borussia Dortmund team left an almost precisely choreographed impression. Emre Can supported himself with his hands on his knees, his head bent downwards while he stood with his feet parallel to the ground. A few meters away, Pascal Groß, Julian Brandt, Marcel Sabitzer and Serhou Guirassy assumed exactly the same posture. And so they remained with impressive accuracy: one second. Two seconds. A hand-stopped five seconds passed before Can was the first to stand up again.
