ANico Schlotterbeck didn’t have too much composure left. Rarely have you heard a BVB player so blatantly and in front of open microphones immediately after the final whistle about his own teammates, about a lack of quality, passes “always on the wrong foot”, and about the fact that “the substitutes lost every ball”. The cause of Schlotterbeck’s furor shone on the scoreboards in the Dortmund stadium. 2:2 against the blatant outsiders Bodö/Glimt, a team from Norway, near the Arctic Circle. “It wasn’t bitter, it was just bad,” said Schlotterbeck.
