BVB in the crisis: coaching and injury worries!

With the latest developments at Borussia Dortmund, the headlines reach a new dimension. The BVB has pushed itself into the middle of the table in the Bundesliga and is faced with challenges that are both sporty and personnel nature. As Derwesten.de reported, the coach was released. This happened after a bitter 1-2 defeat against Bologna, a further disappointment after an unfortunate course in the Champions League.

Interimistic now takes over Mike Tullberg, who previously trained the U19 of the association, the mferdling coaching office. His first steps should concentrate on the upcoming challenges, with the next game against Werder Bremen will take place on January 25th at 3:30 p.m.

Problem of injury of the squad

Another factor that complicates the situation at Borussia Dortmund is the injury situation in the team. Niklas Süle started running training after over a month and a half break; However, he will be able to return to the game at the earliest in February. During his time at BVB, since summer 2022, the central defender has not shown the hoped -for performance and was often affected by injuries, including two syndesmosis injuries. Waldemar Anton and Emre can also have problematic personal details in defense. Anton is struck, and CAN could not completely convince as an emergency interior of the defenders, which the situation for Tullberg is even more challenging.

The concerns about central defense are not unfounded. Tullberg hopes that the combination of Schlotterbeck and Anton will remain fit for the time being to stabilize the defense. The recent services, especially against Frankfurt and Bologna, were anything but satisfactory and reinforced the analysis of the weaknesses within the team.

mandatory questions and look ahead

In the encounter against Werder Bremen, the line -up for BVB will be decisive. Tullberg has already set a few positions: Gregor Kobel is in the goal, the defense is formed by Julian Rerson, Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini. Felix NMECHA and Emre Can could be used in midfield. The offensive department could be set up with Jamie Gitten, Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi, while Serhou Guirassy acts as a storm tip.

Tullberg emphasized that his previous knowledge as a U19 trainer will not influence the list. Rather, he would like to encourage the players to show fighting spirit and stand up for the club. In the current situation, this fighting spirit is essential to initiate the turn and gain a foothold in the league.

The Borussia Dortmund squad is currently not only plagued by injuries, but also of a pressure to have to survive against the competition. This becomes particularly critical against the background of the upcoming games and the duration of the injury list. Ruhr24 also offers an insight into the upcoming Duell Teams.

In conclusion, it remains to be hoped that Tullberg, as a new interim coach and an early return of the injured BVB players, will find the road to success in the Bundesliga. The focus is now on motivating the players and improving the strategic approaches in order to successfully design the season despite all the adversities.
