With the defeat in Bremen Borussia Dortmund falls once more frightening apart quickly. With residues team can not handle, no plan is working. Coach Jurgen Klopp has a responsibility.
The crisis of Borussia Dortmund has reached a new peak. The runner-up last season is winter on the relegation zone, in the worst case, the number 18. The defeat at Werder Bremen revealed once again that Jürgen Klopp’s team is still at a loss as it gets once behind.
Before the game in Bremen said the BVB head coach: “Our Umschaltspiel still works – unfortunately many others will not work.” Furthermore, the focus is on winning ball in the opponent’s half and subsequent rapid attacks seem to lie. With good performances as against VfL Wolfsburg than one home had only 36 percent of possession last Wednesday, it worked midfielder ability to press. But against Bremen got BVB once more in arrears. Already after three minutes netted Davie Selke.
Dortmund with bad edges and long balls
From then on were the offensive efforts of Dortmund very unimaginative. Only 17 flanks they beat in the first half, of which only three cross gifts arrived. In addition, 14 long balls from his own half were beaten forward in the game design. Only two found their target. It was a loose idea thrashing and Ciro Immobile and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as an offensive player could target idea what to do. Although Klopp with Ilkay Gundogan Oliver Kirch, in the second half also still with Shinji Kagawa, excellent fit players and of rhythm on the field, his team acted without creative flair.
The call for a plan B gets loud again and again. Because as a counterpart to umschaltfokussierten Pressing Football ought BVB present against the many deep standing opponent, who hide even more with a guide, an attractive possession game. But first you have to ask the question, why Plan A does not work anymore. This is not necessarily because the Bundesliga can now adjust the BVB football so-called. Certainly beat some teams immediately under construction the balls forward and prevent access. In the past, but you could entice with clever Pressing cases even these opponents flat bad passes.
Neither plan A or plan B function
But in the entire first round was clear that that standard system of BVB is not so adaptable as it was in the last season of the case. For optimum performance, the pressed it took always variability. But at the moment to give the final percent, so that the residual field of defense behind the lines Pressing does not work. The Dortmund get ahead not have access and are also still countered back. The deficits in possession game thus can not be hidden. It is not about Plan A or Plan B. It does not plan A or plan B. Higher possession odds against “lesser” opponents had BVB since the championship years and over again and it was still successful.
A lot of work is waiting for the players and the coaching staff during the winter break. Jürgen Klopp is aware. The 47-year-old has, however, also noted in the first round, which own momentum the current situation. Tactical experiments are avoided because you really need the points. This strategic stability focus in turn generates but the truncated Pressing and limited possession game.
Does Klopp the right answer?
A little questionable in this context that Klopp them after the defeat in Bremen saying that you look at stability must work out again to collect fewer goals. The team has also achieved the fourth-fewest goals in the league. This raises the question of whether Klopp in the most difficult phase of his career draw the right conclusions from the failures
