The question of the Polish journalists on the value of Robert Lewandowski for the team was directed to Pep Guardiola. The coach of FC Bayern München recommended, however, better to ask them but Jürgen Klopp. “He knows him even better than I do,” Guardiola said before but then talked about the importance of the Polish striker exception. Who was, after some initial difficulties, now clearly visible.
Then Guardiola is recommended. He had no time for the 1: 0 win at Borussia Dortmund Bayern quickly to the airport. And Klopp, who remained alone on the podium in the press room of the Dortmund stadium after Guardiola’s departure, voiced a plea: “No further questions to Lewi, he is no longer my players.”
If he had not had a Lewandowski, Klopp might have actually not been sitting as a loser. Because of commitment it has the BVB no lack in the narrow defeat in the Bundesliga top game in recent years. It was simply the means: The feeling of success so much needed for their own self-confidence was made because it Klopp’s team with a few exceptions have never been able to be carried powerful. Because it lacked in finesse playful to be a goal threat against an unpleasant and expresses cautious opponents.
“When you have so little chance you have to expect that the opponent receives and uses them, “said Klopp after his ex-players decided the game with one of the Dortmunder twice bitter Gate: It was just a fool in a class – and that’s because it BVB is currently lacking.” / p>
How Lewandowski asserted itself in the duel against Mats Hummels, then placed the ball unerringly through played between Neven Subotic and Sokratis on Thomas Müller, himself brought back into position and enforced (36 minutes) – to such a genius are the Dortmunder currently not capable. The attack attempts BVB usually ended in the penalty box edge. Also Klopp had to admit that all Dortmund efforts on Holy Saturday remained piecemeal.
“The first ten minutes were completely fine, but then we were impressed. We were able to prevail simply do not. The second half was also fine, “he analyzed a succinct but self-inflicted defeat. Since there was not much into perspective. Because, as Klopp: “Ten minutes good and the second half in order not enough just against Bayern.”
Meinte he so the failure to be signaled a penalty by referee Knut Kircher, who had missed a tackle on Xabi Alonso Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang? No, was overlooked in contrast to the lost Champions League final in 2013, as an assault by Franck Ribery, or the lost cup final 2014 when Florian Meyer had a regular hit by Mats Hummels refused recognition, which was not an issue at this time.
fantasy and surprise elements are missing at BVB
Klopp knows that the key problems in the current situation in his team to are looking for. Once again, Dortmund could play no attacks to an end. “In the end it is always the same,” said Klopp: “We have in the last zone are more stringent.”
The reasons why this is not possible are sobering: There is the realization that despite the debtor in the past two years attacking players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Shinji Kagawa, Ciro Immobile, Adrian Ramos and during the winter break fetched for twelve million euros Kevin Kampl often fails to improve the self-sacrificing leg work of the team visionary
There is a lack of surprise and ideas. The passes that would have to chance to lead, were often inaccurate. Solely Marco Reus, who could create the only Dortmunder way out of the game when he made a promising position into the side-netting (60 minutes), had this evening a level he is of the for a spot on the team FC Bayern could recommend.
Guardiola with his Bayern satisfied
Was the meeting of the German masters of the past five years the Dortmund confirmation that without a significant increase in terms of creativity – possibly also by new players – hard is again assume a leading role in the Bundesliga, so it had a calming effect on the Bavaria: the team of Pep Guardiola has started with a sense of achievement in the crucial weeks of the season.
This gives confidence, especially since the shape curve of Munich had exhibited unusual fluctuations in recent weeks. “People often do not realize how hard it is to play against teams like Borussia Dortmund, Leverkusen or Wolfsburg,” Guardiola said, pointing to the problems that has to be stressed-star ensemble to fight: “It is from game to game severe, we must work hard unbelievable. ” This after all, did his team. Therefore, the Catalans was also satisfied, although she “did not play well.”
But even without the injured David Alaba, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, the at least part of the pioneering games in the DFB Cup in Leverkusen in the Champions League will miss the game against FC Porto, he has formed a compact unit.
The return of the long-term injured Thiago and Philipp Lahm hinted that they can significantly to stability, which is likely to be needed in the coming weeks, contribute. Specifically, the starting comeback from Lahm had triggered when the Bayern fans before kick-off rejoicing.
“Philip is important for us on and off the court, He is our captain and thus a counterbalance. His presence and his ball security for the tasks very important, “said sports director Matthias Sammer, who is sure that Bayern without exceptional players like Robben and Ribery their national and especially international destinations can achieve: “If we want, we can compensate And I have a feeling that we want.”.
A major contribution to compensation, which is fixed at the latest since Saturday, Robert Lewandowski can afford. Out of respect he renounced the way for his 14th goal of the season to the cheers.
