Dortmund in crisis
Coach Sahin facing the end? That’s what they say at BVB!
The traditional German soccer club Borussia Dortmund is in a sporting crisis, but coach Nuri Sahin does not have to fear for his job for the time being!
BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl backed the coach on Tuesday evening despite the cup exit. "We will stand together. We'll get through this together," explained Kehl after the 1-0 defeat after extra time at VfL Wolfsburg, the fourth competitive defeat in the last five games.
When asked what this second-round exit would mean for Sahin, Kehl said: "Nothing!" This is "not a situation that Borussia Dortmund has not already mastered in the past".
"The boys have sacrificed themselves!"
The Dane Jonas Wind had fired Wolfsburg, managed by Styrian Ralph Hasenhüttl, into the next round in the 117th minute and prolonged Dortmund's run of disappointments. Sahin himself, however, says he still feels the confidence of those in charge "a thousand percent. I have that feeling."
The 36-year-old did not want to blame his heavily depleted team, in which Marcel Sabitzer was substituted in the 99th minute. "The boys sacrificed themselves," said Sahin. "In the situation we're in at the moment - with all the injuries, with the mental state - the lads did really well."
