Examining Terrier Terzic's Fuming Reasons
Take a break from your Lumumba cup for a moment! We've got some juicy details you may not like, but that's what happened to Dortmund's coach in Leverkusen (1:1).You don't want a repeat of his angry outburst!
Let's dive into the real reasons for Terzic's frustration....
► ...because Terzic learnt that his disliked tactics - crushing, pushing, and long balls for Füllkrug - won't outsmart Alonso's brilliant team. Winning with destruction, not attacking, is not in Dortmund's DNA. The self-confident performance in Milan (3:1) was a far cry from their actions in Leverkusen. Dortmund barely managed a draw thanks to lucky breaks and Hummels's (34) exceptional performance.
► ...because Terzic knows the first title of the season might be out of reach! BVB trail Über-Bayer by ten points, rendering a quick comeback like the previous season highly unlikely.
This is the harsh truth for BVB
The stark truth: The draw in Völler City was a boost for snow-free Bayern, who can tie with Leverkusen again with a win against Union Berlin. But for BVB, the title dream is fading.
►...because Terzic fears Adeyemi may become the next Swallow Otto of the referee's guild. Possible fall-down artists like Timo Werner and Adeyemi have a notorious red list among referees. League-crushing dives could put BVB's points and titles at risk. Terzic and Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl publicly showed their support for Adeyemi in Leverkusen.
►...because Terzic knows a potential defeat in Stuttgart (Wed., 8.45 pm/ZDF and Sky) could make the city's mood sour. Leaving the DFB Cup and just making Champions League round of 16 is BVB's only chance of salvaging the season. Enormous pressure on Terzic. In the end, ranting in front of the cameras was a stress relief for him.
So now you can enjoy your "dead aunt" drink once more...
