Yesterday Boussia Dortmund managed to come back against newly promoted St. Pauli. A crazy match started with Ramy Bensebaini’s goal, but the hosts soon equalized with Eric Smith’s goal and forced Sahin’s team to take a step forward. And he did it with a header from Serhou Guirassy in the 83rd minute. A distressing match that was not without controversy after the match.

I won’t let anyone talk about my team like that, for the love of God.

Dortmund’s players suffered for a long time against a newly promoted team that collected only four points in seven games, a situation that raised a question about Borussia’s mentality that Nuri Sahin did not like, who did not hesitate to answer on television with rights, DAZN Germany: “This team has no mentality problems. When you play at Borussia Dortmund’s level you can’t have a bad mentality. I won’t let anyone talk about my team like that, for the love of God.“.

The truth is that his team had some luck during the match as St. Pauli’s Adam Dzwigala missed a shot from close range and VAR had disallowed a goal by Morgan Guilavogui for offside in the 30th minute. The German press doesn’t like a feeling of defensive fragility: “The way we defend makes me very angry. Scenes like this make the difference whether we are here with eleven or 13 points. We have already conceded goals like this against Celtic and Union. It doesn’t work that way“admits the technician.

The boys remained calm, we didn’t do harakiri

A team that seems I can’t find the regularity and that he is capable of the best and the worst. From beating Glasgow Celtic 7-1 in the Champions League to losing to Union Berlin three days later. Something the coaching staff is working on: “We have to concatenate the results every three days. I didn’t expect St. Pauli to be like this, but we did well. You can’t win 7-1 here. The boys remained calm, we didn’t do harakiri“he concludes.
