BVB crisis: Embarrassing defeat in Kiel-Sahin is not up for debate!
The Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund had to give up 2: 4 on January 14, 2025 in a crucial game against Holstein Kiel. The encounter took place in the Kiel stadium and marks another setback for the Dortmund, which after this defeat in the Bundesliga slipped to eighth place. BVB captain Emre Can and Managing Director Lars Ricken practiced sharp criticism of the performance of the team. Ricken described the appearance as "embarrassing and shameful" and can found that the team had not developed any chances of scoring, but only pushed the ball back and forth. Both emphasized that this defeat was not the guilt of the coach Nuri Şahin and that the trainer is currently not being taken over.
With this defeat, Dortmund ends the first half of the season with only 25 points and thus remains behind the international qualification places. In contrast, Holstein Kiel, which is currently in the penultimate place, increases the score to 11 due to this victory, which makes it considerably easier for you to fight for relegation. Kiel showed a strong performance, especially in the first half, led by Shuto Machino, who scored the first goal in the 27th minute. Shortly afterwards, Phil Harres increased to 2-0 in the 32nd minute and Alexander Bernhardsson set the final point in the first half with the goal in the 45th+4 minute.criticism and analysis of performance
The Dortmund tried to compensate for their weak performance after half -time. Giovanni Reyna and Jamie Gitten scored two goals in the 71st and 77th minute, but the upswing came too late. The Kieler Lewis Holtby saw the red card due to rough foul in the 86th minute, but the effects on the game no longer had, because Jann-Fiete ARP took the late opportunity and scored the 4: 2 with a long shot in the empty gate. The game was also interrupted twice for pyrotechnics in the Kiel audience block, which made the return to the game more difficult.
Before the kick-off, the Dortmund fans drew attention to another fact: the change from Donyell Malen to Aston Villa was announced. This transfer could question the current personnel policy of the association. The first 45 minutes were particularly weak for BVB, which was able to achieve several corners, but acted offensively against the Kiel.
Nuri Şahin under pressure?
The performance of Nuri Şahin as a coach is increasingly questioned, especially after the latest defeats that increase the pressure on him. In the last games, BVB had already lost to Bayer Leverkusen, which also reduced the hope of a turnaround. It is increasingly being speculated whether a change of coach could be necessary in the current Situation. Statistical studies show that change of coaches can lead to performance increases at short notice, but experts recommend giving a trainer time to familiarize themselves and stabilize the team.
Phil Harres, who impressively drawn attention to himself with his seventh goal in only ten Bundesliga games, and whose earlier time at FC Homburg could now also help to arouse the interest of other clubs and perhaps even the national team, shows that Kiel is on the right track despite all the adversities.
Overall, Borussia Dortmund must now find solutions immediately to process this setback. The challenge is not only to get the team back on track, but also to cope with the growing dissatisfaction of the fans and the reviews of the media.
