If that doesn’t catch your eye. When asked by the goalkeeper, BVB coach Lucien Favre did not want to commit to Revier’s pre-derby press conference. What’s happening in Dortmund?
Since moving in the summer of 2015, Roman Bürki has been number one at BVB. Although a strong headwind was blowing at first (“Bürki like a Gürki”), it has been undisputed for a long time. He recently extended his contract from the beginning until the end of June 2023. And now this: against both Hoffenheim and Lazio Roma, he recently only sat on the bench twice. Marwin Hitz played in his place.
I found food for the media workers to start a discussion between doormen. And Lucien Favre? Instead of putting out the fire with the water cannon, keep adding fuel to the fire. Thus, it offers its critics a lot of open ground. The BVB coach would have good arguments to justify the non-use of Bürki.
Health problems in Bürki
Bürki missed the first competitive game of the season due to hip problems, then he was in the box twice before an infection knocked him out of action. After the national team break, the 29-year-old is still not 100 percent fit and is therefore on the bench against Hoffenheim. During the week in the Champions League against Lazio Roma, Favre once again relies on the heat. And the tree is already on fire.
Because in the press conference prior to Revierderby, Favre leaves open who will be in goal against Schalke on Saturday. “I have always explained it. We’ll see the day after tomorrow, that’s all I can say right now. “When asked if it was due to Bürki’s performance or health, Favre explains that Bürki was sick and injured. But he also says:” Marwin did well too. It is like this. “
In fact, Dortmund won both the Bundesliga matches and the cup match at the start of the season to zero with heat in the goal. Only in the Super Cup against Bayern (2: 3) and in the Champions League against Lazio (1: 3) did he have to get behind him. Only with one of these six goals Hitz did not make the best cheat (video below). On the other hand there is one or another parade.
Assuming Favre is not toying with the idea of shaking Bürki’s number one status, he should have simply said: “We are giving Bürki the time he needs to fully recover. Because with Hitz we have a strong substitute. “The goalkeeper’s discussion would have been off the table. Since he doesn’t, he is once again threatened by a wave of criticism. Because if the heat were to play and even the slightest mistake , then that would be the big problem.In the event of a defeat against Schalke, who have played mostly desolate in recent months, then the air for Favre will be thin.
