Dortmund: Jensen Is The 12th Transfer Away From BVB – Personnel Roster Is Very Thin
Metzelder Speaks Clearly: “A Very Tough Season!”
+++++++++++++
For sport director Michael Zorc, the frustrating 1:1 against Olmütz wasn’t a question of class, “because indiscipline is in the head”. And yet, the first match that counts for the “rehabilitating” BVB showed how dangerous the chosen path with these overburdened player can become.
+++++++++++++
The starting eleven does not stand up to the previous team. Buckley lacks the qualities of an Ewerthon and Degen does not strengthen the defense. And on the bench sits: Brzenska (21), Odonkor (21), Caliskan (18), Sahin (16), Hünemeier (19) and Gambino (21). Just before today, Danish defender Niclas Jensen (30) was registered as the 12 departure of the summer. BVB now saves his salary and banked about 700,000 Euros from FC Fulham. The line between economic necessity and sporting interests are at the breaking point. Trainer BvM is aware of the dangers, however, he’s aggressively confident: “I want to make the UEFA Cup.” “It’s important to the club.”
How this thin team will end up after dealing with three competitions, no one knows. However, BvM can only hope for the return of Kehl (Ankle Injury) and Ricken (Thigh). Both were important parts of the best second round in the history of the club.
On cue, Christoph Metzelder used the shock of the blown UI-Cup opening match opportunity to speak clearly: "We know that can be an entirely difficult season in all aspects.” “It can also be good if everything fits." “Everyone on the team must now live to become better.” “More importantly, each good training session should help prevent injuries. “We must show that we wish to move ahead. Our path will not always go straight toward the top”. Whether the situation depends on the new players or not, Metzelder has his doubts. “I am no economist. We drove down the personally costs so the financial side is satisfied. Therefore, I see no possibilities we can reach the UEFA Cup.” Zorc says, “We’ve reached the limits”. Generally, Manager Hans-Joachim Watzke, states, something could be done with transfer fee players in the event of an emergency. Zorc: “However, presently, there are no plans for it.”
