For some he is an annoying know-it-all, for others he has been the real captain of Borussia Dortmund for years!
With a brace in Freiburg (4:2), Mats Hummels (34/contract until 2024), a professional on his farewell tour, saved BVB from the outbreak of a crisis. Liberating and irritating at the same time.
His astute analysis after the final whistle was at least as potent as Hummel’s signal goals.
He wakes up BVB. Brilliant filler pitcher template!

While other players were still happy about the 3-point pincer birth with the usual platitudes, Freigeist Hummels relentlessly criticized deep-seated problems: “If we want to take a step forward, we have to be able to dominate a pressing opponent in the midfield area (… )”
Short form: BVB is (too often) a victim of pressing. Subtext: Borussia can’t let themselves be blinded now: Freiburg was just a shaky victory! Anything else, according to Hummels’ message, would be self-deception. That’s right! In order for this success to really lead to a turnaround in the title and for the deficits not to become worse in the end, coach Edin Terzic (40) must now take the right measures – just an excerpt…

► Sébastien Haller is stuck in a slump in form – that’s why Niclas Füllkrug should be on the pitch at kick-off in Paris. If he can’t do it anymore, Moukoko has to come!

A Terzic discussion in Dortmund is currently “not proportionate” after the recent victory (Copyright: Söder). But if they want to continue pursuing their own goals seriously, the Borussia bosses must definitely see the public criticism of Hummels as a title warning.
► The dead argument for any BVB criticism that the Pott club has only lost one game in 2023 belongs in this context from now on. This – let’s call it the Aki placebo – diversionary maneuver can ultimately be just as misleading and counterproductive in the long run as misinterpreted shaky victories in Breisgau…
