BVB, News: Edin Terzic believes in a “great chance” against Bayern
The international break makes the wait even longer, because on the 26th matchday, right at the end of the break, there will be a “Bundesliga classic” between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich. BVB coach Edin Terzic calculates the chances of winning. “We’re in a really good mood at the moment. That makes us very confident. If we don’t just go into the game with a dose of respect, but also with courage, we have a great chance,” said Terzic at a football talk in Lünen.
The fact that BVB go into the prestige duel as the leader of the table is a “significantly nicer sign,” explained the head coach. In the past it was sometimes just “about honor”. Now the table is euphoric, “it’s definitely a really nice moment, but there’s still a lot we have to fight for,” he explained, and made a declaration of war in the direction of the Bundesliga: “We’re far from done!”
BVB, News: Dortmund with returnees in the “classic”
Before the “classic”, Borussia Dortmund can obviously look forward to further reinforcements from the injury department. As the sports picture reported, BVB can fall back on regular goalkeeper Gregor Kobel against Bayern. The two guarantors of success at the start of the year, Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt, should also return to team training during the international break and be an option.
Apparently only the two youngsters Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Youssoufa Moukoko are missing at BVB. The situation is different at FCB – with Jamal Musiala and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, two top performers of the record champions cannot go on an international trip. BVB should not yet believe that Musiala will be out – they prepare for FCB’s top talent as if he were playing, according to the report.

Central defender Nico Schlotterbeck also agrees with his coach.

If everyone performs at their best, we can win in Munich.”
But FC Bayern will not make it easy for them. BVB is aware that “Bayern will be irritated by losing the lead in the table.” But for the chance of a Bundesliga championship, “I give everything every day,” explained Schlotterbeck, “every week we have to continue to show the mentality, the determination and the fighting spirit that has distinguished us this year.”
The national player especially addressed words of praise to coach Edin Terzic. After the many discussions with the coach, “a jolt went through the team”. They wanted to show the coach “that his hard work is bearing fruit.” He himself is also particularly grateful to Terzic. “I’m glad that Edin always put me up and continued to trust me even after mistakes,” explained Schlotterbeck. “The decision isn’t always easy for the coach either, because we have three very good central defenders.”
BVB, News: Hansi Flick praises Can and Wolf
On Monday, national coach Hansi Flick praised Dortmund’s Emre Can and Marius Wolf for their “mentality” that is needed at the DFB. Can now also agrees with this assessment. “Everyone knows how I play football,” he told opposite Picture“I love tackling, I love throwing myself in for my team. If that’s important to the coach, I think I’m the right player for it.”
The six also sees the Borussia mentality as an element that Wolf and he can bring to the table. He sees that in BVB’s winning streak: “We’re a really good team, but we haven’t always played well. But we’ve always shown mentality. We can take that with us for the national team.”
