BVB, News: Energy crisis could cost Dortmund several million

The energy crisis also seems to hit BVB hard. According to a report by picture the runner-up in the Bundesliga expects additional costs in the millions. Instead of the previous four million euros, more than ten million euros could be due.

“Our goal is to reduce energy consumption and the associated costs in all properties by 15 to 20 percent,” announced board member Carsten Cramer in the tabloid newspaper. According to the report, BVB have been taking measures for months that also affect the fans. The stadium is no longer illuminated at night and the use of floodlights has been greatly reduced.

In addition to other energy-saving measures such as restrictions on the video screen or switching off the BVB logo at night in the fan world, the lawn heating and lawn lighting have also been reduced for a few weeks. In addition, the refrigerators in the VIP rooms are only used for the games and the room temperatures are regulated.

BVB, News: Babbel criticizes Terzic

Markus Babbel has criticized the performances of Anthony Modeste and coach Edin Terzic. “At the moment I don’t see Modeste as a real striker for BVB. But I don’t want to take him as the sole culprit,” said the 50-year-old ran: “You knew what you would get if you got him. He’s not BVB’s main problem.”

“Those responsible have to put up with the criticism that it isn’t working at the moment. There is a growing lack of understanding as to why young Moukoko is not allowed to play if the old Modeste cannot do it,” said Babbel towards Terzic.

Modeste switched from 1. FC Köln to BVB in the summer. The 34-year-old has only scored one goal in ten competitive games so far.

BVB grades: Four times the five – Reus representative convinced

1/16

BVB has suffered a setback in the fight for the German championship. The black and yellow lost 2:3 (1:0) against 1. FC Köln and thus failed to overtake FC Bayern again. The grades and individual reviews of the BVB players.

2/16

ALEXANDER MEYER: Again represented the injured regular keeper Kobel and once again did a very good job. Safe in the build-up game and with high balls, sovereign even with the few durable Cologne shots on his box. Grade: 3.5.

3/16

THOMAS MEUNIER: An appearance with light and shadow. In the forward movement with some decent advances – including the decisive ball win before the 1:0 – defensively often not at all up to the mark. Grade: 4.5.

4/16

NIKLAS SÜLE: At the beginning with one or two positional mistakes and difficulties with the coordination with Meunier, which the Cologne team didn’t know how to use. At 1: 1 then a little too far away from flanker Hector, also at 1: 3 too hesitant. grade: 5

5/16

NICO SCHLOTTERBECK: Lost sight of Tigges before the 1:2, but otherwise still the best defensive player in Dortmund. Often there when his neighbors are unsure. Always threw himself into Cologne shots and degrees. Grade: 3.5.

6/16

RAPHAEL GUERREIRO: Up until he was substituted he had the most ball action in Dortmund, but he didn’t do much with it. Offensively much more reserved than you are used to from him. Also vulnerable to rapid advances from Cologne. grade: 5

7/16

JUDE BELLINGHAM: Was allowed to lead BVB onto the field as captain for the first time, you could tell that responsibility. In the first half, he repeatedly went on the offensive with dangerous speed dribbles, then faded after the break. Note 3.

8/16

SALIH ÖZCAN: Freed up Bellingham’s back when he moved up a little further. Stuffed a lot of holes in the first 45 minutes and often gave the last man. In the second half then – like many of his Dortmund teammates – overwhelmed. Grade: 4.5.

9/16

KARIM ADEYEMI: Was in the BVB starting eleven for the first time since the end of August, although the lack of match practice was definitely noticeable. Had a good chance in the first quarter of an hour, but then nothing came from the international. grade: 5

10/16

JULIAN BRANDT: A very worthy replacement for the injured Reus. Had his feet in the game in almost every Dortmund opportunity. He then scored the 1:0 himself after receiving and taking the ball nicely. Grade: 2.5.

11/16

DONYELL MALEN: Was a constant trouble spot on his left offensive side, especially in the first half. However, you have to hold him against his poor exploitation of chances. Found his master three times alone in front of the gate in Schwäbe. grade: 4

12/16

ANTHONY MODESTE: You couldn’t deny his will against his ex-club. Modeste threw himself into duels, fixed balls and made room for his neighbors. But he wasn’t even dangerous at all. grade: 5

13/16

THORGAN HAZARD: Came in for the weak Adeyemi and did a little better. Had a good chance to score, but didn’t take advantage of it. He was no longer able to contribute to the turnaround. grade: 4

14/16

YOUSSOUFA MOUKOKO: Should ensure the late turn with his joker qualities. Got in, made a lot of meters and even had a good chance of equalizing, but was unlucky. Grade: 3.5.

15/16

EMRE CAN: Subs on for Malen after 77 minutes. No rating.

16/16

TOM ROTHE: His deflected cross goal caused excitement again in the final quarter of an hour. No rating.

BVB, rumor: Quartet is on the brink against Sevilla

BVB could be missing a quartet on Wednesday evening in the Champions League at FC Sevilla (9 p.m. in LIVETICKER). As the Ruhr news report, the assignments of Mats Hummels, Marius Wolf, Gregor Kobel and Marco Reus are on the brink. At least for Kobel and Reus, that comes as no surprise. Before the Cologne game, coach Edin Terzic had promised that they could start training this week, but Sevilla come too early for both of them. It is also unclear whether they are ready to play against FC Bayern Munich at the weekend. BVB has not yet made any statement on this.

They couldn’t train on Monday afternoon either, like Hummels and Wolf. In the case of the latter, according to the local newspaper, there is still a residual hope that he will make it into the squad for Seville. Terzic and the medical team will make a final decision on Tuesday.

The situation of Giovanni Reyna is also unclear. The American was injured in the international match against Saudi Arabia last Tuesday. It was said he would be out for seven to ten days with a strain. the Ruhr news assume that BVB will tend to take shaky candidates to Seville if there is still a chance of improvement.
