The Champions League finalists (defeated by Real Madrid 2-0 at Wembley, ed.) are facing a seemingly endless series of disappointments in the Bundesliga this season. In the last three league matches, Borussia Dortmund have recorded 3 draws in a row, after taking the lead in each of these matches, only to then catch up.
A recurring problem of which the coach, Nuri Sahinis fully aware. As he acknowledged in the press conference at the end of the 1-1 draw against Heidenheim: “If I said no, we are exactly where we want to be, you would be making fun of me. And I would certainly be entitled to many, many criticisms,” he acknowledged.
“No, of course. So we always saw the direction in which we could go, but on several occasions we also experienced failures, even in our development,” Sahin analyzed under the microscope and without mincing words. However, according to him, It's not a mentality problem in his team: “If I'm not mistaken, we've taken the lead three times in the last three Bundesliga matches. If you win these three matches, you have six points more. So it's not about mentality. It's about being winners. Yes it's about winning these games,” he commented.
