BVB – VfB Stuttgart: voices and reactions
Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund): “Stuttgart did an excellent job here, as they have done all season. They had a good plan, they were aggressive and determined. We always try to play small and small in tight spaces and we have a great turnover rate. If it works out, if it looks good, then it looks like good football. But it only works in very few cases. It’s too cheating, I’ll say.
We have too little depth in the game, we find ourselves too much. As a result, we reduce the gaps for ourselves and virtually produce our own turnovers. Regardless of this, the losses of the ball before 4: 1 and 5: 1 are just bad passes completely open, where we then rush to the counter as hard as we can. “(Service: Results and schedule)
… when asked if BVB lacks spirit, as FC Bayern demonstrates with Hansi Flick: “It’s definitely part of the whole, definitely. I think it’s about a lot of things. It’s also about spiritual freshness. You have to admit, it’s not easy right now. But then it’s about automatisms Being in the game, being focused and playing meaningful football, that is: risk where appropriate and risk where there is a return if it works.
Unfortunately, we play risk in areas where the performance, if it works, is small, but the defensive consequence is very great. We can often hide it through individual classes, today it went mercilessly wrong, today we really cut ourselves in our own flesh every minute, and then we have such a game.

Marco Reus: “Very, very embarrassing” for BVB
Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund): “You have to say: They were just superior to us in all aspects: duels, counter-pressures, they showed everything that we really wanted to implement because we knew after the last games that we had to win the games. If you can see how the goals were created and the dialing possibilities, many things with one contact.
For us it is like this: if we are not aggressive in the initial behavior, if we do not accept the duels, if we do not have great victories, then we run after them. We are not a team that defends itself well, you have to be very clear about it. The bottom line is that it was a deserved victory for Stuttgart and it was very, very embarrassing for us. “
Lucien Favre: “We were very, very bad”
Lucien Favre (Borussia Dortmund coach): “It was a catastrophe, you have to put it that way. That was bad. Not good at catching the ball, absolutely no good. And too many big, big mistakes. Hard to explain. But like I said: if you’re not good at catching the ball ., the whole team, then you have a problem. It was difficult. You played well, you have to say. But we were very, very bad, and that’s not possible.
Stuttgart played well in the first half, we made it 1-1. Still, we should do better in the second half, and we get a very stupid goal. That brought a bit to the team. I can only say that. We weren’t there.
Then they waited for a counterattack and of course we gave them the balls too easily. It is difficult for everyone to accept it, for everyone. We have to talk and do an analysis, that is clear ”.
… about Can’s tantrum after the substitution: “He already had a yellow card. It was 1: 2. So I decided on the four behind. That’s right.”

Förster: VfB Stuttgart had a “better plan” than BVB
Gregor Kobel (Goalkeeper VfB Stuttgart): “It was a lot of fun, it was a great game. I’m so proud of the guys, they hit the gas from start to finish. Maybe one or two little things on defense that could be done a little better. But we were really dangerous on offense.” We were brave, we let the ball run. It was a lot of fun being here in the field. It’s a great victory that gives you a lot of confidence, and I think we’ll be in the dressing room for a while. “I enjoy that we could get a win like that today.”
Philipp Förster (VfB Stuttgart): “We have big plans today. I think we did a similar performance two weeks ago against Bayern, unfortunately we did not take advantage of our opportunities. Today it was like that, thank God we scored our goals.” – and then I think we deserved to win in the end. I think we just had a better plan than our opponents today. “
Pellegrino Matarazzo (VfB Stuttgart coach) on double-scorer Silas Wamangituka: “He and some of the other players on the team have enormous potential. They are not distant and give maximum power in every training session. The potential is unlimited with Silas and many other players.”
Dietmar Hamann (Sky expert): “Today was a discouraged, unimaginative, dispassionate, and ultimately helpless idea as well. A true oath of revelation. I have said before that the Dortmund team may be in a good position on paper, qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League, for example, but the truth is otherwise. The air for the technician is weakening because the team has not advanced in the last twelve months. I imagine there will be serious discussions about the coach, because after two lackluster matches like against Cologne and Stuttgart it will be incredibly difficult to continue with the coach.
