Yesterday, Boussia Dortmund achieved a comeback against the newly promoted St. Pauli. A crazy game that started with Ramy Bensebaini’s goal, but the home team would soon tie with Eric Smith’s goal and forced Sahin’s team to take a step forward. And they did it with Serhou Guirassy’s header in the 83rd minute. An agonizing match that was not without controversy after the match.
I will not allow people to talk about my team like that, for the love of God.

The Dortmund players were suffering and for a long time against a newly promoted team that has only achieved four points in seven games, a situation that raised a question about Borussia’s mentality that Nuri Sahin did not like, who did not hesitate to respond on television with rights, DAZN Germany: “This team doesn’t have any mentality problems. Playing at the level of Borussia Dortmund you can’t have a bad mentality. I won’t allow people to talk about my team like that, for God’s sake.”

The truth is that his team had some luck during the match since Adam Dzwigala of St. Pauli missed a shot from close to the goal and the VAR had disallowed a goal by Morgan Guilavogui for offside in the 30th minute. A sensation of defensive fragility that the German press does not like: “The way we defend makes me very angry. Scenes like this make the difference if we are here with eleven or 13 points. We have already conceded goals like this against Celtic and Union. It doesn’t work that way,” the coach admits.
The boys stayed calm, we didn’t do any hara-kiri

A team that seems to be unable to find consistency and that is capable of the best and the worst. From beating Glasgow Celtic 7-1 in the Champions League and then losing to Union Berlin three days later. Something the coaching staff is working on: “We have to chain results every three days. I didn’t expect St. Pauli to be like this, but we did well. Here you can’t win 7-1. The boys stayed calm, we didn’t get no hara-kiri,” he concludes.
