After Borussia Dortmund’s 2:3 defeat at 1. FC Köln, BVB coach Edin Terzic could no longer contain his frustration, even his anger, and lashed out.

Borussia Dortmund failed to hold on to or extend their 1:0 lead at 1. FC Köln and thus go into next weekend’s top match against FC Bayern München as the league leaders. BVB lost in Cologne with 2:3 in the end. Players and coaches were angry.

Instead of being three points ahead of Bayern, both teams have 15 points on their account before the duel. After the Cologne game, Edin Terzic was really angry by his standards and spoke plainly.

Today it was once again very visible what it has been lacking for years to consistently knock on the top. We were not prepared to take the last three or four steps. That annoys us enormously.

“It happens repeatedly that we just give away games that we control completely. This issue has been haunting us for years,” said Terzic after the 3-2 (1-0) defeat to 1 FC Cologne, which was “bitter” not only for him, and he did not mince his words in his unsparing analysis: “Today it was once again very visible what we have been lacking for years in order to consistently knock on the door at the top. We were not ready to take the last three or four steps. That annoys us enormously.”

Terzic already started on Sunday morning with the intensive reappraisal of the third defeat of the season in the eighth match. He doesn’t have much time left. On Wednesday, the groundbreaking Champions League duel at FC Sevilla is on the agenda, followed by the top match against Bayern on Saturday. “We only have three points in the Champions League at the moment. We have to make sure we get something in Sevilla,” demands BVB coach Terzic. wozi mit sid
