Dortmund – What’s next for Nuri Şahin?
The BVB coach, who only took over the club in the summer, is facing a fateful game despite everything the bosses have said. On Saturday evening we have to get a three-pointer against RB Leipzig, otherwise his chair will wobble more than seriously.
Problem: The omens ahead of the top Bundesliga game are bad. Confidence is low after three defeats in a row, the opponent has been unbeaten in 19 Bundesliga games in a row and the Dortmund squad is seriously thinned out. Hope rests once again on home strength. The game also becomes a mood test.

When the DFB Cup was eliminated after extra time in Wolfsburg, the displeasure of the BVB fans who had traveled with them was expressed in stunned silence. Now the supporters should be the much-needed support. “We have to stand together, we have to gather our strength, we have to work hard on things. Then we will have a home game against strong Leipzig on Saturday and then we will need our fans too,” said sports director Sebastian Kehl. BVB has won every game of the season at home so far.
The only really realistic chance of a title has already been lost with the exit from the DFB Cup. In the Bundesliga championship fight, leaders Bayern and Leipzig are already seven points away. What is even more important, however, is that if Dortmund’s downward trend continues, BVB risks falling behind in the race for the important Champions League places.

“We also finance our business model through the Champions League qualification. We no longer have any points to give away, the seriousness of the situation is of course recognized,” said Ricken. Reaching the premier class is the “common benchmark”. Every BVB coach knows that.
BVB’s gap to the premier class’s source of money cannot become even greater. And so the game against RB Leipzig is definitely a kind of fateful game for Nuri Şahin. (high school/dpa)
