BVB celebrated a win against Bochum. The black and yellow were initially behind. Also because goalkeeper Gregor Kobel made a faux pas.
You could see the relief in Nuri Şahin, the Borussia Dortmund coach kept breathing deeply after the show of strength against VfL Bochum. “That’s the process we’re discussing. It can quickly go south. If the third goal is scored, we have a huge problem. Sometimes you have to suffer to learn,” said Şahin, whose team turned 0-2 into a fourth :2 had done.
“I saw a development in terms of clarity. That we keep playing, keep trying, even if it’s 0-2 in our own stadium,” said Şahin on the streaming service DAZN: “In the end, we deserved to win.” Bayer Leverkusen distinguished and perfected their ability to keep going in the 2023/2024 championship season.
After the early “hit in the neck” by Bochum’s Matus Bero (16th minute) and an “unforced error” by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, who lost the ball and thus invited Dani de Wit (21st) for Bochum’s second goal, “you first run once afterwards, and of course they had the “killer moment”. Şahin alluded to Bochum’s huge chance to make it 3-0, which Myron Boadu (33′) missed.
Captain Emre Can said Dortmund had started well – and yet “suddenly we were 2-0 down”. Things didn’t look good then, “we also had the defeat in Stuttgart on our minds,” admitted Can, referring to the 5-1 defeat at VfB last weekend.
However, BVB cannot always afford to fall behind and chase with a lot of effort. “We have to be there from the first minute, we have to learn that. I hope we learn it because it happens often. Nevertheless, we showed character,” said Can, scorer of the 2-2 (61st) penalty kick.
Serhou Guirassy (44th, 75th) and Felix Nmecha (81st) also scored. “I’m super grateful that the team stepped up their game after the 2-0 defeat,” said goalkeeper Kobel, who “clearly” described the loss of the ball for Dortmund’s second goal as “my mistake.” He explained that he “focused on one thing” too early, wanted to offer himself and shift.
“In my head I was still thinking that I wanted to play to the right and then I created problems for myself. At the end of the day it was really unfortunate. Definitely a mistake on my part, I just have to get the ball “It’s too dangerous to try to do anything about it,” said Kobel. The fact that it was still enough to achieve a third win in the third home game was “a nice thing, I’m super proud.”
