BVB, News: Hummels criticizes Dortmund stars after bankruptcy

BVB defender Mats Hummels has called on his Dortmund teammates after the recent bankruptcy against Union Berlin (0: 2). “We can see at 2-0 in which areas risk is appropriate and when not. When to send and when not,” criticized the 33-year-old. “Sometimes the simple 20-yard back pass is better, even if it doesn’t come out on social media afterwards.”

Dortmund would have to get away from the fact that “football has to be sexy,” Hummels said after the 1-1 draw against Sevilla in the Champions League. “Successful football isn’t about heels, spikes, one, two, three from five yards, it’s about a player always doing the right thing and not just doing something special sometimes.”

When asked about Hummels’ criticism, however, striker Karim Adeyemi waved it off. BVB does not play football that is too ornate. “I wouldn’t say that now. We played a different formation today, maybe that’s why.”

BVB grades: Grade 5 for Kobel and four others! Just one in normal form

1/17

After a poor performance, BVB deservedly lost 2-0 at Union Berlin. In addition to keeper Kobel, who initiated the bankruptcy with his buck, some other Dortmunders also caught a black day. The grades and individual reviews.

2/17

GREGOR KOBEL: Head somewhere else for the first few minutes. First uncertain against Schöfer (5th), then with the blackout before 0: 1 when he slipped (8th). No chance at 0.2 (21st). Strong against Baumgartl (56th). grade: 5

3/17

NIKLAS SÜLE: The safest and clearly the most creative of the three central defenders in the game opening. Played more passes in the final period than his two partners combined (23). An all-round solid performance, also as a right-back. Note 3.

4/17

MATS HUMMELS: Tried in vain to calm the game down at the beginning. Was a little too easy to boil off from Jordan before 2-0, even if he wasn’t the main culprit. Very attentive to this in other situations. Grade: 4.5.

5/17

NICO SCHLOTTERBECK: Slowly on the ball. It often took a moment too long before he found a teammate. Important tackle against Jordan (31st). Hardly any more demanded in the second half. Grade: 4.5.

6/17

THOMAS MEUNIER: Completely invisible except for a cross in the first half. There was very little activity on his site. In addition with numerous ball losses (16). Stayed in the cabin. grade: 5

7/17

JUDE BELLINGHAM: Got the attacking part in midfield again, but didn’t have nearly the impact of the past few weeks. A little better grip after the break, but still unlucky. grade: 5

8/17

EMRE CAN: Gave the deep six, played a major role in the partly unstructured build-up. Watched from time to time without doing anything, rarely found himself in the duels. Could have made it 1-0 early (7th). grade: 5

9/17

SALIH ÖZCAN: Had little access and struggled against the compact midfield of the hosts. Fell victim to the change after the change of sides because Edin Terzic was concerned about offensive power. Grade: 4.5.

10/17

RAPHAEL GUERREIRO: Offensively unusually passive in the first 45 minutes, which was also due to Berlin’s strong right side with Trimmel and Becker. Tried hard in the second section but never got dangerous. Grade: 4.5.

11/17

YOUSSOUFA MOUKOKO: Compared to his strike partner, he dropped more often to create gaps. That only worked to a limited extent. He lacked penetrating power. Only caused serious danger once (80th). Grade: 4.5.

12/17

KARIM ADEYEMI: Often dodged to the left, but rarely used his speed. Unnecessarily playful when losing the ball before the 0:2. Substituted at the break. grade: 5

13/17

JULIAN BRANDT: Entered the place for Adeyemi (46th) and lined up on the right flank. More central after Hazard’s substitution and became more active there. But he couldn’t knock over the goat. grade: 4

14/17

DONYELL MALEN: Replaced the weak Meunier (46th). However, there was not really any improvement on the left side of the attack. Didn’t get past the beginnings. Grade: 4.5.

15/17

MARCO REUS: Celebrated his return from injury when he came on for Özcan after halftime (46th). Brought significantly more plan and train to the previously pale attacking game. Had the best chance so far (78th). Grade: 3.5.

16/17

THORGAN HAZARD: Substituted for Süle to finally put the pressure on (70th). With some good approaches and paths, but nothing more. Grade: 3.5.

17/17

GIOVANNI REYNA: Came in for Can (82nd) just before the end to crack the tired Berliners. This plan didn’t work either. Without rating.

BVB, News: Dortmund loses top game against Union

Borussia Dortmund suffered another setback in the fight for the German championship. The team coached by Edin Terzic lost 2-0 (0-2) to Union Berlin. This means that the black and yellow continue to lose touch with the top positions. On the FCU there are already seven points after ten matchdays.

Janik Haberer scored the goals for Union Berlin, first after a mistake by BVB keeper Gregor Kobel (8th), then with a brilliant long-range shot (21st).

Erling Haaland has not yet scored against these teams

1/22

Even after moving to the Premier League, Erling Haaland is on fire. The Norwegian shoots everything short and small in the home country of football – the striker has already scored 20 goals after only 13 competitive games.

2/22

The only PL side he has failed to meet this season is against AFC Bournemouth on Matchday 2. We looked at who else the Norwegian didn’t score against.

3/22

The prerequisite is that he has played at least two games against said teams. His time in Norway until 2019 is also excluded. Therefore, only his stations in Salzburg, Dortmund and Manchester are considered.

4/22

All in all, there are only three teams against which the Norwegian has not scored despite at least two appearances: VfB Stuttgart, Arminia Bielefeld and Manchester City. SPOX takes a closer look at the games.

5/22

04/10/2021 – VfB Stuttgart vs. Dortmund 2: 3 (opposing goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel)

6/22

The game started badly for BVB. Sasa Kalajdzic scored for the Swabians after 17 minutes and this was the result at half-time. Only then did Dortmund turn up the heat and take control of the game.

7/22

Daniel Didavi was able to answer a quick double strike from Jude Bellingham and Marco Reus, but ultimately Ansgar Knauff made the decision after Haaland’s preliminary work. The Norwegian himself, however, remained relatively harmless.

8/22

04/08/2022 – VfB Stuttgart vs. Dortmund 0: 2 (opposing goalkeeper: Florian Müller)

9/22

The goal came relatively early in this game as well – but this time for BVB. Julian Brandt took the lead in the 12th minute. Haaland did the preparatory work and could have done more before the break, but failed because of Müller.

10/22

After the break, Dortmund continued to set the tone. However, further chances from Haaland and Raphael Guarreiro remained unused before Brandt made it 2-0 again. A late attacking run by Stuttgart was unsuccessful, also because Kobel parried well.

11/22

02/27/2021 – Borussia Dortmund vs. Arminia Bielefeld 3: 0 (opposing goalkeeper: Stefan Ortega)

12/22

Haaland is also goalless against his current teammate Stefan Ortega. Although Dortmund went 3-0 over Arminia, the Norwegian didn’t score a single goal. He only prepared the 3:0 through Reinier.

13/22

Previously, Mahmoud Dahoud and Jadon Sancho had scored for Borussia. Haaland could also have entered the top scorer list a few times, but failed each time due to Ortega, who was in a very good mood.

14/22

03/13/2022 – Borussia Dortmund vs. Arminia Bielefeld 1: 0 (opposing goalkeeper: Stefan Ortega)

15/22

The meeting should be all about Haaland’s return. The Norwegian had previously missed due to injury and was therefore only allowed to play for 27 minutes. He came in for Donyell Malen.

16/22

Marius Wolf scored the only goal of the game after 27 minutes. Haaland was only able to set a few accents during his spa assignment. Teammate Giovanni Reyna didn’t use a nice heel pass in the final phase.

17/22

04/06/2021 – Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund 2: 1 (opposing goalkeeper: Ederson)

18/22

In the first meeting with his current club, Haaland was again able to look forward to a goal contribution (assist for Marco Reus’ goal in the 84th minute), but a goal was not to succeed.

19/22

The Norwegian was largely unsigned from the Citizens’ defense, he did not emit any real goal threat. The game was overshadowed by a goal not given by Jude Bellingham, which is said to have been preceded by a foul.

20/22

04/14/2021 – Borussia Dortmund vs. Manchester City 1: 2 (opposing goalkeeper: Ederson)

21/22

The second leg at home Signal Iduna Park ended with the same result. An early Jude Belligham goal was answered by City with two goals in the second half. Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden scored for the Skyblues.

22/22

Haaland did not appear at all. As in the first leg, the Citizens’ defense was very well matched to the Norwegian. Despite 90 minutes of play, Haaland didn’t score a single shot on goal.
