BVB stumbles for the club World Cup: Süle criticizes weak performance!

East Rutherford, USA - Last night Borussia Dortmund put a bumpy start into the club world championship. In the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, people separated from Fluminense from Brazil with a disappointing 0-0 draw. After the game, coach Niko Kovac said that the point win was to be seen as a small success in view of the course of the game. This impressively describes the general constitution of the BVB, which after a one -month break before the opening game against Holstein Kiel looked little fresh and dynamic. In this first round, Dortmund could not even record a single chance of scoring, while fluminense exerted significantly more pressure.

In the match against Fluminense, it was just right wing Jhon Arias, who presented Dortmund's defense against major challenges. "We have more degrees than Dortmund," said Kovac. The defensive of Fluminense, led by the experienced Thiago Silva, was stable and hardly let Dortmund develop. In addition, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel had a large part of the fault that there was no defeat in the end. With a parade against EVERALDO in the 69th minute, he saved the team from a deficit.

limited possibilities for newcomers Jobe Bellingham

There was a surprise in the line -up: The young newcomer Jobe Bellingham, brother of the star Jude Bellingham, made his debut. Kovac had put on him, but Bellingham only came into play in the 59th minute and immediately caused a breath of fresh air. "It still takes time to get used to our processes," said Kovac after the game. Bellingham showed use and physical presence on the field, but this was not enough to improve his team's cramped performance.

The course of the game presented Dortmund before questions about their ability to increase in the current tournament. A clear increase in performance will be necessary against Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa and Ulsan HD from South Korea in order to be successful in their group. The kick -off time at 12 noon local time was also listed as a possible factor for the weak idea, which led to Dortmund's attacks were hardly dangerous.

Number game and change of personnel

The spectators in the Metlife stage saw a match with a few highlights. While Dortmund was able to record several corners and initiates in the opposing half, fluminense remained noticeable primarily due to dangerous spacers. This passive style of play from Dortmund was also noted by the referee Ilgiz Tantashev, who distributed three yellow cards in an overall fair game:

• Ramy Bensebaini (Dortmund) in the 5th minute
• matheus Martinelli (fluminense) in the 8th minute
• yan couto (Dortmund) in the 90+5. Minute

Overall, it remains to be seen whether BVB will get the curve after this sobering performance. It is to be hoped for the fans that the team can better use their potential in the next game. Because one thing is clear: the audience is eagerly awaiting the next appearance of their team in the club World Cup.
