Borussia Dortmund vs Cerezo Osaka: BVB aims to respond after test embarrassment
BVB is under some pressure in the second test match under new coach Nuri Sahin: On Sunday (July 21), the Dortmund team suffered a heavy 0:4 defeat against the Thai first division team BG Pathum United FC. Sahin publicly criticized his team afterward, particularly pointing out the defensive issues.
“Rest defense, box defense – I didn’t like any of that; we need to work on it. Just because the boys are tired doesn’t mean I can say: let it go. Those who don’t do the basics will not play, plain and simple!” shouted the 35-year-old, who was presented as the successor to Edin Terzic at BVB in the summer.
However, the coach doesn’t want to overrate the defeat in the opening game of the Asia tour: “I know how to place it, where to put it – the game.” After nearly eleven hours of travel, the players in Thailand had to struggle with both jet lag and high humidity with temperatures around 30 degrees. Additionally, Sahin made ten substitutions at halftime. It is hoped that things will go better against Osaka. (LuHa)
