Favre surrenders – “Bavaria is better, period!”
After the bankruptcy against Hoffenheim, BVB coach Lucien Favre warns of increasing competition in the league. He seems to have written off the duel with FC Bayern.
BVB says goodbye to the summer break with a disgraceful performance. The game nurtures doubts about the team’s attitude. BVB boss Watzke finds clear words – especially about criticism from Wolfsburg.
Pbib two was safe before the last game. Nothing could happen up and down anymore, on paper BVB was no longer concerned with anything at the season finale. This was underpinned by the Dortmund players with their appearance at 0: 4 against Hoffenheim bordering on refusal to work. It was an embarrassing achievement for Borussia to say goodbye to the summer break.
The gap to Bayern, who confidently won their eighth championship in a row, is 13 points. The Munich team felt like they were in a different league after the Corona break. Bayern won all nine games, BVB lost three games.
“If I had given an interview after the game, the broadcasting time would have been extended by an hour. I was extremely charged. The key to the performance was the game last week in Leipzig, ”said BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke in the“ double pass ”at Sport 1. The victory in Leipzig then led to a total drop in voltage:“ Against Hoffenheim was one Non-performance for which you almost have to apologize. “
“Second in the league is fine”
The criticism of Wolfsburg, who lost 0: 4 against Bayern and now have to go to the difficult qualification of the Europa League because of the Dortmund defeat, Watzke countered with clear words: “If I had lost 0: 4 myself, I would simply shut up hold.”

The 61-year-old preferred to talk about his BVB and came to a mixed conclusion of the past season: “Second in the Bundesliga is fine. Our performance in the Champions League also, against Paris you can be eliminated, the cup was out of the question. To fly out against Werder Bremen in the round of 16 is difficult to accept. “
Watzke avoided an announcement to Bayern for the coming season, the presentation of the Munich team in recent weeks, with which they underpinned their supremacy in German football, was too impressive. “Bayern are the measure of all things,” said Watzke. Whoever gets 49 out of 51 points in the second half of the season deserves to be a champion: “If Bavaria doesn’t weaken, it will be difficult to become a champion.”
RB Leipzig also does not want to take on the role of a big challenger for the record champions. “For the time being, we are not orientated towards FC Bayern, but are looking to Dortmund first. We are playing the fourth year in the Bundesliga, and it would be presumptuous, arrogant and arrogant to stand on the same level as Dortmund and say: We are now the Bayern pursuers. If anything, we are the Dortmund pursuer, ”said Leipzig managing director Oliver Mintzlaff.
