on Saturday, January 25, 2025, Borussia Dortmund had to accept a bitter disappointment against Werder Bremen. The game ended 2-2, although the Dortmunders initially led 2-0. This performance was particularly remarkable because Dortmund played outnumbered for over 70 minutes after Nico Schlotterbeck received the red card in the 21st minute. Felix Nmecha was injured in the 12th minute and could not go on.

Dortmund's goals fell through Serhou Guirassy in the 28th minute and an own goal of Marco Friedl in the 51st minute. Werder Bremen equalized in the second half by Leonardo Bittencourt (65th minute) and Marvin Duksch (72nd minute). This was already the fifth competitive game this year, in which Dortmund was unable to win. The team is currently in the table behind Werder Bremen, who are also without a win. This situation raises questions about the effectiveness of the interim coach Mike Tullberg.

interim coach under pressure

Mike Tullberg continues to lead the team, such as Onefootball . After the draw against Bremen, Lars Ricken, sports director of Borussia Dortmund, emphasized that the concentration was at the game against Bremen. Tullberg had made four changes in the starting eleven compared to the previous game to bring a breath of fresh air to the team.

Despite its efforts, the situation remains tense. Dortmund has already received five references this season, more than any other team. Before the game, Tullberg demanded passion and fighting spirit from his players, but was unable to prevent the performance from visibly decreasing after the 2-0 lead. It remains unclear whether Tullberg will also sit on the bench in the upcoming Champions League game against Schachtar Donetsk on Wednesday, which could be of great importance for the future of the trainer.

criticism from the fans

The dissatisfaction of the fans is clearly noticeable. Before the game kicked off, the Dortmund supporters showed their criticism of the club tour with a poster on the south stand. This is particularly questionable in view of the unstable situation at Dortmund, which, according to the Football Feiter , experienced a high fluctuation in coaches compared to other Bundesliga clubs. Dortmund is fourth of the most common layoffs in the Bundesliga with a total of 43 coaches.

Against this background, the performance of the team under Tullberg is all the more critical. Among the tense circumstances and the pressure that the team and the trainer feel, the next game in the Champions League against Donetsk will be decisive. There is an urgent need to improve the shape and bring the fans back to the team's side.
