From BVB’s point of view, the Bundesliga schedule and the obligation to leave for international matches are becoming a problem for the club. The Dortmund team feels disadvantaged by the German national team’s trip to the USA in October.
Something was brewing at Borussia Dortmund. According to information from BILD, BVB’s management is struggling enormously because the team has to start the eighth matchday on October 20th with the Friday evening game against Werder Bremen.
This is a problem for Dortmund in particular. Background: There is another international match for the German national team this week, but in Philadelphia. If you take the squad of the DFB team that traveled to France last Tuesday, then five BVB professionals (Can, Nmecha, Schlotterbeck, Süle, Brandt) would be there on the grueling trip to the USA.
BVB now feels disadvantaged because the national players are not expected back in Dortmund 24 hours before the league game due to the detour. Kehl: “This appointment is extremely unfortunate for us. Topics include the time difference and the return flight, as regeneration is important,” said sports director Sebastian Kehl. Coach Edin Terzic confirmed: “It’s logical that we would have preferred to play on Saturday instead.”
BVB lacks arguments
According to information from BILD, he has already contacted the German Football League (DFL) and is looking into rescheduling the game. Not an easy undertaking, according to the report, “there is now a threat of trouble between BVB, DFL and TV station DAZN”.

However, BVB probably has little chance of overcoming this. Because the club lacks the arguments. From a German perspective, the international match against Mexico will start at two o’clock in the morning from Tuesday to Wednesday, but it is still within the shutdown period.
“It’s not always the best individual players that are suitable, but the right team players”
The football victory against France gives Germany’s national team a boost again. But what did interim national coach Rudi Völler do differently than Hansi Flick? In a WELT interview, sports scientist Ingo Froböse explains how the German team ended its losing streak.
DAZN is not to blame, the streaming service selected the game in accordance with the rules and insists on the date on Friday evening. “We don’t have any information that suggests the game will be postponed. We are firmly planning on Friday,” said a company spokesman. DFB sports director Rudi Völler has already stepped in as a mediator (“We’re trying to find solutions.”). The Dortmunders are said to have not yet contacted the broadcaster, but that would apparently not solve the problem.
Because even if DAZN were to agree to a postponement, the DFL is insisting on a Friday game, also because of the secondary exploitation rights. Theoretically, two clubs would have to step in in order to be able to present a game. An earlier departure from the USA for the then nominated BVB players is also difficult to achieve on what is probably the new national coach’s first trip. So the situation is quite messy.
