Clear, embarrassing, painful - the 0: 4 (0: 4) in Amsterdam has a powerful effect on Borussia Dortmund.
The historical attrition could have dire consequences for the further course of the season.
Amsterdam - Nobody felt like making excuses. After the biggest defeat in the long Champions League history of Borussia Dortmund at 0: 4 (0: 2) in Amsterdam, everyone involved talked Tacheles. The frustration sat too deep about the unworthy performance of a top Bundesliga team. “It was a lesson for us. We have been shown our limits. This defeat is extremely painful, ”complained Julian Brandt. Defensive boss Mats Hummels appeared as contrite as the midfielder: “We were clearly the worse team in all respects. You can say that we were still well served with the 0: 4. "
Like his players, Marco Rose made no secret of his frame of mind and openly described them as "shitty".
Above all, the lack of conviction and body language of his professionals after the early 2-0 through the strong Daley Blind (25th) went against the grain of the BVB coach.
“In the moment when things get difficult, you have to find solutions.
We still have to broadcast Borussia Dortmund.
You have to show at every moment that you believe in being able to win the game. "

It cannot be ruled out that the defeat in the roaring Johan Cruyff Arena will cause a momentous crack for the rest of the season. “It wasn't on the plan that we should go under like this,” commented Marco Reus. The fact that the national player initiated the defeat with his own goal (11th) matched the used evening for BVB. Further hits by Blind, Antony (57th) and ex-Frankfurt Sebastien Haller (72nd) rounded it off in a negative sense.
The next test of strength with the Dutch champions is already on November 3rd.
In the event of another defeat against the league leaders (9), BVB could still get into the round of 16 in jeopardy.
Finally, the third in the table Sporting Lisbon (3) is only three points behind the second in the table from Dortmund (6) after defeating the last Besiktas Istanbul (0).
Brandt hopes for a suitable sporty response from his team: “With all the praise for Ajax, we still have the quality to beat such a team.
You shouldn't hang it higher than it is in the end.
In two weeks we have the chance to do everything better. ”Dpa
