Marcel Reif, column on Borussia Dortmund, FC Schalke 04 and FC Bayern



[ad_1]

Hello soccer friends,

Borussia Dortmund showed a good reaction following the 2-0 defeat in Augsburg and the 3-2 defeat to Bayern in the Super Cup.

In the 4-0 win against SC Freiburg, what sets BVB apart was seen again. If they play well, that’s one of the sexiest things in football. I hardly know a team where watching is a pleasure. This is children’s soccer, no worries. It didn’t work against Augsburg, the guys were in awe and you didn’t see them.

The balance will have to be right in Dortmund. Lucien Favre is doing very well with Marco Reus. It has been injured for a long time and you can remove it after 70 minutes of play if you no longer need it. You will need it for a long time.

There will be enough teams that will not participate in the BVB game. The speed and joy of playing is only possible with space. You will come across this problem over and over again. The question is if they can come up with a plan B. The team is trimmed to be carefree, what happens when the wind comes from the front?

“Schalke must accept that they are against relegation”

They would like to have these problems a few more kilometers. FC Schalke 04 also suffered a bitter bankruptcy under new manager Manuel Baum – 0: 4 at RB Leipzig.

Schalke are doing well to accept that this season it is only against relegation. They should accept this reality. You have taken care of everything.

I can’t wait for a new coach to come back after three training sessions. He did not have to start the game against Leipzig, only afterwards. Leipzig did everything RB can do. So the team is in a different league than Schalke.

If Rangnick had taken over, everyone would have said, ‘Here we go, Leipzig has to dress well.’ It doesn’t work that way, you won’t be able to change teams with the money available. You had too much imagination in the past, you don’t need it now.

The fact is, this team won’t beat Leipzig for four months. At some point you have to win a game and realize: “We can still play football.” These players were brought in for the Champions League and now they should fight for relegation. Baum has to make sure the players believe him and don’t freeze when a goal is conceded.

See you soon,
