Borussia Dortmund also loses the second leg against Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League. The decisive factor is a more than questionable red card against Mats Hummels. Coach Rose raises allegations – not only against the referee.

Marco Rose just couldn’t get over the scene he saw as crucial. The Borussia Dortmund coach had to stick to himself when asked about her. “Is there anyone in this room who thinks it is justifiable to give a red card there?” He asked into the press room of the Dortmund stadium. Nobody pointed out – neither a German nor a Dutch journalist.

“I think it’s justifiable to give red there – if you don’t have the opportunity to look at the pictures again afterwards,” Rose continued, explaining the actual scandal that occurred on Wednesday evening and had a massive impact on the outcome of the game between BVB and Ajax Amsterdam, which from Dortmund’s point of view ultimately ended in a 1: 3 (1: 0) flowed.

He could understand that referee Michael Oliver from England showed Dortmund’s defense chief Mats Hummels red after an impetuous tackle against Amsterdam’s Anthony in the 29th minute – but not that he had not been taken to re-examine this decision . Because then, according to Rose, there could have been no other option for him than to withdraw the red card.

“Difficult to understand”

“It’s a tackle at a very high speed and the opponent then makes a movie as if someone had completely struck him in the legs. But you can see that Mats doesn’t even meet him, ”said Rose. The acting of Anthony, who rolled several times on the lawn after the – undisputed – foul by Hummels, was nasty for him.

Accordingly, Rose vented his displeasure. “If you have the chance to correct mistakes today and look at the pictures again, but then inexplicably, it is simply wasted – then it is difficult to understand,” said the trainer. In fact, the video assistant referee (VAR) had apparently not given Oliver a corresponding message, nor did the referee himself feel the need to re-examine his decision. It was difficult for Rose to accept this – as was the 1: 3 (1: 0) defeat that he would then expect.

Because a good 60 minutes outnumbered against a top team like Ajax – that was simply too much for BVB. “That is a lot of wood,” complained Rose, who could “not reproach his already weakened team with anything”. “We took the lead anyway, and even made it out of the half-time break well,” he explained. But towards the end the decimated Borussia would simply have lacked the strength.

“Eleven we would have won”

“This defeat hurts more than it did two weeks ago,” said Julian Brandt, who was certain “that we would have won the game with eleven.” The BVB players found it particularly bitter that the controversial scene actually came from the VAR had been checked – but the red card against Hummels was apparently rated as appropriate. At least that’s what BVB captain Marco Reus reported. This is what Oliver told him when he asked him about it.

That made the matter even more incomprehensible to Rose. “If people decide from there that you can really give the card like that – then I’m sorry. Then something goes wrong in football, ”the coach scolded.

The anger is understandable. With the two defeats against the Dutch champions, BVB gambled away the good starting position after the opening wins at Besiktas Istanbul and against Sporting Lisbon. Now it will be decisive for Dortmund to win the direct comparison with the Portuguese champion tied for points. The Dortmund team won the first leg 1-0.

BVB has to compete in Lisbon in three weeks. “The constellation is such that this will be the decisive duel,” said Rose: “We have to go through that now.”
