Following a crushing defeat, Dortmund’s manager chastises his team; a Celtics match is imminent

Nuri Sahin, the manager of Borussia Dortmund, chastised his team following their 5-1 loss to Stuttgart over the weekend.

The Bundesliga team came to the MHPArena with a lot of confidence after winning their first Champions League match of the season 3-0 against Club Brugge last Wednesday. But Sunday’s events exceeded even the most optimistic expectations of both groups of supporters.

In fact, the hosts took a 3-0 lead shortly after the hour mark thanks to goals from Ermedin Demirovic and Enzo Millot after Deniz Undav started the score early.

Dortmund’s problems were further compounded by El Bilal Toure and Undav after Serhou Guirassy gave the visitors some relief.

BVB’s 5-1 loss will have encouraged Celtic supporters ahead of their match against the Germans the following week.

Both their supporters and the team’s manager, Sahin, who was harsh in his evaluation of his players after the game, are not pleased with the outcome from the previous weekend.

He said, “That was very sobering” (Glasgow Times).

“You are not Borussia Dortmund. You cannot play that way.

“It was a really bad performance. I hope we never again put on a show like that.

“We didn’t work on it from the beginning to the end. You can’t play like that; it felt like we didn’t win a single 50/50 tackle.

“We must now confront this head-on and make demands.

“It is not how you should play. There are a million reasons you can make, but none of them are good.

In the Bundesliga this Friday night, Dortmund hosts Bochum at home before hosting Celtic at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday.

After losing to Stuttgart 5-1, the game will reveal where the team is at and give Hoops supporters a decent idea of the team they will play the following week.

On paper, though, the matchday two matchup is the most challenging of Celtic’s Champions League matches, regardless of form.

Although Brendan Rodgers’ team had a great start against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday, they will have to step up their game significantly the next time they play in Europe.
