He has not even tried it. On Wednesday Thomas Tuchel spoke again about the upcoming task. “Great compactness and great energy, kindled through the audience,” praised Dortmund coach, passion and courage he saw at PAOK Saloniki. The Greek club is on Thursday (21.05 clock, live ticker SPIEGEL ONLINE) the enemy of the BVB, it is the second group stage of the Europa League. A contest on the Bundesliga club have a great desire, as Tuchel had assured two weeks ago. But that’s just a bit difficult with the pleasure. The flesh seems willing, the spirit rather dull. At present, the impression that the game BVB comes something rather inconvenient.
Why is that? Since the last two Bundesliga games. Both the 1: 1 in Sinsheim as well as the 2: 2 against promoted Darmstadt 98 Dortmund was quite unnecessary lie points. Then was the actors to look at and to listen to the disappointment. Mats Hummels, the captain, was annoyed by the defensive behavior, Tuchel looked in front of cameras compelled to comment. The atmosphere was already better with him.The (media) interpretation of the events then ranged from strained nerves down to a first form “dip”. A bit returns currently reality to dream started Borussia back, free interpretability included. Dortmund, while still moist in the preseason in the meantime with serious relegation worries, fell below Tuchel never lost a competitive match in the Europa League 2: 1 against Krasnodar and is in the league with five wins and two draws in second place. Why still does not seem to be enough, but still has a reason other than just two unsatisfactory games in a row. Bayern.
On Sunday, it comes in Munich showdown between the giants and the Borussia. It is no exaggeration when one notes that the Munich have not lost their nemesis function for BVB – regardless of the situation at the club area. Whether on points or four points: The longing for possible prolonged tension in the Master fight is great to like you would have seen it, therefore, if both teams had started with seven wins. But that has managed only the FC Bayern. The media “Clásico” -Maschinerie is still unstoppable, the latest Dortmunder setbacks notwithstanding.
good for the Borussia as a true Bavarian challenger?
As Challenger League tip, so just also Bayern Munich, he saw the Borussia, Tuchel had said during his inaugural. How much of the BVB can actually suck a spoilsport for the defending champions, because there are now doubts. How is this possible if one is equal to two times in a row, despite partly distinct superiority unable to win football games against supposed outsiders?
This is an important question for the future, but at least as important is the look back: A win over Darmstadt would increase the distance in fourth place (Wolfsburg) to an impressive seven points. Managing Director Hans-Joachim Watzke, a rather skeptical person had wanted exactly, but listened really had hardly any. For this you need at BVB for two weeks to a duel questions answered by the people of Munich.
Delighted was Thomas Tuchel about last rather not. The perfectionists find it difficult to focus on the match in Greece. Mats Hummels, Ilkay Gündogan, Sokratis, Shinji Kagawa and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang still not flown with only they are protected. Exactly, for the Bavarians.
This is the duel with Paok not without explosiveness. Dortmund fans were already informed weeks ago that it could lead to ugly scenes around the game. Dortmund Ultras maintain a friendship with a group of Ultra Aris Thessaloniki, the city rivals PAOK. BVB recommends the followers to wear neutral clothing and to avoid certain regions on the spot.
And sporty? Despite the current mental imbalance Tuchel team must lie a respectable performance when third-placed Greek League. That is not easy in hot-blooded scenery, especially as the date for the first competitive match defeat could hardly be worse. Having to travel to Munich with three consecutive games without a win is likely to shatter the illusion of a duel at eye level further.
