Mats Hummels found after the bankruptcy at RTL clear words: "The first half hour splashed the game in front of him, nothing happened on both sides. I think we were tend to be a bit more dangerous. The big headline is: serious, success-oriented Football. If you see Leverkusen, there we believe four goals cashed for ball loss. Today was 0: 1 a light ball loss, the 0: 2 an unnecessary free ball loss, the 1: 4 an unnecessary free ball loss. It's for me One more than clear topic, which is our problem. The coach often says, we do not implement it on many positions. "

Hummels continue: "We play a lot of nonsensical, illogical football and make opponents unnecessarily strong, because we often do not want to play the simple solution, but want to play a lot too complicated football. So you go, so you'll lose time, but so you will never be permanently successful. "

BVB - Glasgow Rangers: The analysis

In the first 45 minutes, the BVB in the first 45 minutes: The Borussia has already difficult with the player opening because the Rangers operating in 4-2-3-1 with up to six players deep in the Dortmund half pressed. Also many second balls landed at the guests. So the BVB missed the connection forward, pace in the pass game came n1. Switching moments also did not allow the Scots because they defended mostly in the center compact and man-oriented.

In the meantime, the home farmers then found the intermediate line rooms better, but direction penalty area did not remain effective and purposeful enough. An attacker paint was completely isolated. Quite differently his counterpart Morelos, which broke out again and again from his nine position, made for overpayment situations or spaces. So it was more than indicative of the Dortmunder that the gates of the Rangers fell to two well-known BVB "patterns": an individual mistake (Zagadous hand game) and a weakly defended standard situation (Reus).

The devastating performance of the BVB also found no end in the second section. Trainer Rose, after the takeoff of Moukoko, turned to 4-4-2, but the shortcomings in the defensive and especially the residual defense remained. Just over the wings, the guests developed a lot of pace, in the center Morelos was physically superior to his counterparts - two more balls found their way to the BVB goal quickly.

Dortmund often tried headlessly over the center, but a few times in the narrow rangers network. Although the Westphalia was still running after the 1: 4, but overall was missing from the beginning of the body tension as well as language - especially again after the overall setbacks.

BVB notes to the debacle: six total losses, a miscast, a bright spot
