After Mario Basler didn't have a good word to say about Nuri Sahin on "Doppelpass", the Dortmund coach now counterattacked. According to Sahin, the 56-year-old is not a "real expert".

Basler had harshly criticized the BVB coach after the 3:2 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen around a week ago. "He has zero charisma, he sinks into himself. You can't really take him seriously," the former Bayern player said in no uncertain terms.

The verdict was not well received in the Dortmund camp, and now, after sporting director Sebastian Kehl, Sahin himself has also commented on Basler's verbal waddle (see video above).
