BVB, News: Rose sees the old Dortmund problem

Once again, Borussia didn’t manage to deliver a similarly concentrated and tight presentation in the following game on a strong performance like Freiburg. A classic BVB pattern of recent years, as coach Marco Rose had to state soberingly.

“It’s just a shame and a bit stupid of us that we’re using exactly the clichés again,” said Rose on ARD. “It’s a pity that in the third game in a row – after a top performance against Freiburg, after a twisted game against Frankfurt, in which we had all these qualities – we didn’t do better. That’s exactly what we’re talking about: not starting a series , which sometimes goes for seven, eight or nine games. That has to be our aim. The finality makes it particularly bitter tonight – and it’s just our fault, that’s it.”
