"Got a feeling that ..."
Explosive! Bundesliga professional senses a conspiracy
Borussia Mönchengladbach were narrowly beaten 3-2 by champions Bayer Leverkusen in a thrilling Bundesliga opener on Friday. Striker Tim Kleindienst had strong words afterwards and sensed a conspiracy after VAR decisions.
He felt "pretty shitty", said Gladbach neo-striker Tim Kleindienst in an interview with DAZN. "Somehow it gets on your nerves. Every 50:50 situation is scrutinized. Every goal was scrutinized down to the smallest detail. You somehow got the feeling that they didn't want us to score anything at all." An explosive VAR suspicion ...
Kleindienst's supposed follow-up goal at 0:2 shortly before half-time was disallowed after a video review due to a previous foul. After the break, however, the VAR decision went in Gladbach's favor. Ko Itakura's free-kick cross from Kevin Stöger was judged to be just offside. The Japanese striker's header was converted by Nico Elvedi at the second attempt.
Winning goal in minute 101
Then came the penalty situation in stoppage time, which was also scrutinized for minutes on the sidelines. In the end, Leverkusen were awarded a penalty, which young star Florian Wirtz converted with a follow-up shot in the 101st minute.
A dramatic match in the Bundesliga opener. "Matchday 1. Straight away. Soccer, what are you doing to us?" was how Gladbach's social media department summed it up.
