Marco Reus surprisingly open after BVB defeat in Leipzig: “The five-man chain is not for us”
BVB suffered a severe setback in Leipzig in the title race. Marco Reus vented his anger with surprisingly frank words.
BVB coach Marco Rose also chose a basic order with three central defenders against RB Leipzig. His captain didn’t like it at all, Marco Reus didn’t spare criticism after the defeat.
Immediately after the 1: 2 defeat in the top game in Leipzig left BVB captain Marco Reus his frustrationSky-Microphone run free. “We can forget the first half,” said Reus, who did not want to be happy about his nice goal to equalize in the meantime – on the contrary.
“I don’t give a shit right now, that doesn’t interest me. It rather upsets me that we lost the game,” said Reus.
BVB barely put a leg on the ground, especially in the first 45 minutes, against the very aggressive and strong-running Leipzigers. Also a consequence of the basic order and tactical orientation that coach Marco Rose chose – at least that’s Reus’ assessment.
BVB captain Reus criticizes the decision for a five-man chain
“We switched to a back four at halftime, which is much better for us because we’re much more active than in the five-man chain. In addition, in the five-man chain we have one less man in the center who can press. The five-man chain is not for us, that you have to say so tough “, Reus chose surprisingly frank words.
As in the most recent games, Rose had opted for a three- or five-man chain in the last line, probably due to the many injuries that BVB currently has to complain about.
However, Reus could not deny the legitimacy of the Leipzig victory despite an improvement in his team’s performance in the second round. “Leipzig had many opportunities to close the bag earlier. It was a deserved defeat for us.”
