BVB, News: Hamann misses self-criticism after city bankruptcy

In the 1: 2 in the Champions League at Manchester City, BVB sold very well for long stretches, but gave up the game in the final phase with two goals conceded. For skyexpert Dietmar Hamann, the protagonists’ statements after the end of the game were not tenable.

“I’ve rarely seen City so helpless and aimless as in the first half or the first 75-80 minutes,” said Hamann, showing respect for Dortmund’s performance. But: “You can’t lose a game like that. When I hear afterwards that Sebastian Kehl says he’s proud of the team, Edin Terzic speaks of a very good game, Emre Can of an extremely good game. Then I miss one A bit of self-criticism.”

Hamann’s conclusion: “In my opinion, this lack of self-criticism is fatal.” Only Mats Hummels got on DAZN-Mic annoyed about the passivity of the goals conceded. “For me, Hummels is the only one who is self-critical and who names things as they are. The others should do the same,” Hamann demanded. He “I have the feeling that it starts like last season. You don’t play well, you win games, that’s wonderful and if you lose, then you talk yourself into it.”

All-Star Game in the Bundesliga! What do you think of these teams?

1/28

Chelsea owner Todd Boehly appears to have some ideas for the future of European football that take US cues. One of them: An All-Star Game in the Premier League. He justified this primarily with even more income.

2/28

“I hope the Premier League takes some lessons from American sport,” he told the Guardian. north versus south? We applied that to the Bundesliga – with just one rule: a maximum of three players per club – excluding coaches.

3/28

We draw our north-south border between Leverkusen and Leipzig. The Werkself are in the south, while RB are in the north. What do you think: who would prevail in this all-star game?

4/28

TEAM NORDEN – Trainer: Urs Fischer – At Union he is indispensable. Since the rise, he has been one of the best coaches in the country – also because the Köpenicker still go one better. In the All-Star Game he sets up a 4-2-2-2.

5/28

Goalkeeper: Yann Sommer – The Gladbacher recently proved against FC Bayern Munich that only he can be the clear number 1 in the north. For years he has consistently delivered at the top level.

6/28

Right-back: Christopher Trimmel – Union Berlin is also so strong because the Austrian runs up and down the right flank. He is indispensable in the Fischer team – also in our all-star team.

7/28

Central defender: Robin Knoche – The next Unioner is also a guarantee that the iron are also and especially in defense so iron. That’s why he shouldn’t be missing with his bone-hard approach.

8/28

Central defender: Josko Gvardiol – The 20-year-old is one of the greatest talents in the Bundesliga. There were rumors in the summer that he could leave Leipzig again quickly. In the North team he is here to stay.

9/28

Left-back: Raphaël Guerreiro – Admittedly, the Dortmunder had a weak last season. But currently it seems as if he could find his old form. And that was outstanding. His playing quality will help the North team.

10/28

Central midfield: Konrad Laimer – It’s no coincidence that FC Bayern wanted him in the summer. In Leipzig he is not only an important vacuum cleaner in front of the defense, but also a pacesetter.

11/28

Central Midfield: Jude Bellingham – Bellingham needs a player like Laimer. In this way, the Englishman can bring his qualities forward in the game without any worries – the southern team better dress warmly.

12/28

Attacking midfield: Jonas Hofmann – Always there, always good, but somehow chronically underestimated. His reliability is a boon to any team. And so the Gladbacher is in our top eleven.

13/28

Attacking midfield: Marco Reus – There is always a lot of discussion about the Dortmund captain. But the fact is: We need his calmness on the ball, his technical skills and his eye in this team. Someone has to feed the dream storm with passes…

14/28

Attack: Christopher Nkunku – For Leipzig he hits as he wants. Even when things aren’t going that way. In the north team he is not alone on the offensive …

15/28

Attack: Sheraldo Becker – The 27-year-old completes the Union Berlin trio of players. If Nkunku has a bad day, we have a second goal guarantee in the team. Can the south keep up?

16/28

TEAM SOUTH – Coach: Christian Streich – The 57-year-old has enjoyed outstanding success with SC Freiburg in recent years. He is now a Bundesliga veteran. For the All-Star game, he’s backing a 4-2-3-1 with us.

17/28

Goalkeeper: Kevin Trapp – For Frankfurt, the national player was a big life insurance. In the All-Star-Game he should stop the offensive power of Nkunku and Co.

18/28

Right-back: Kiliann Sildillia – At the age of 20, the Freiburger seems to have already made his breakthrough. He is currently an indispensable part of the starting eleven. If he stays that consistent, he’s also ready for the All-Star Game.

19/28

Central defender: Matthias Ginter – It didn’t take long for the ex-Gladbacher to get used to SC. Despite being a national team player, he often went under the radar. Could prove himself again in the South team.

20/28

Centre-back: Lucas Hernández – The Frenchman is an absolute defensive machine. He’s fast, athletic, strong in one-on-one combat and has the mentality that the South needs. Accordingly, the Bayern star is set.

21/28

Left-back: Angeliño – He has long been an important cornerstone for Leipzig. Then came a difficult phase for him. But if he can improve again in Hoffenheim, he’ll be a real weapon on the left flank.

22/28

Central midfield: Joshua Kimmich – He is the leader at Bayern and he will also lead the way in the southern team. With his strong passes he can get the North in trouble.

23/28

Central Midfield: Djibril Sow – The Frankfurter is rarely mentioned when it comes to the best midfielders in the league. He brings everything with him: overview, duel strength and game intelligence.

24/28

Right wing: Moussa Diaby – For Leverkusen, the Frenchman is one of the most important offensive players. His pace and dribbling are difficult to defend.

25/28

Attacking midfield: Florian Wirtz – Currently still injured, but hopefully back in shape soon. Wirtz is one of the greatest German talents. He gives our southern team the necessary hosts.

26/28

Left Wing: Kingsley Coman – Our third and last Bayern player. In recent years he has been the most consistent winger for Munich. He doesn’t score that many goals, but we still have an eleventh player.

27/28

Attack: Patrik Schick – The third Leverkusen player in the league should give the north team a goal or two. If he can build on his performance from last season, he will probably succeed.

28/28

And that’s how the two teams would face each other. Who would come out on top in the end?
