Theses for the 20th Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund's victory in Cofferdam could still prove to be Trojan horse in the long run. Why Cologne's game suffers so slowly, the VFB stands before the two decisive weeks of the season and Cofferdam comes to the Champions League? The theses at the 20th match day clarify.

A BVB defeat would have been better in the view

Borussia Dortmund has now won the first three difficult games of the second round against direct competitors in the fight for the front places, in the league the team is still full on course. But behind the naked results is another truth: with this consecration and the partially crass performance fluctuations, Russia will no longer be able to remain the second-best German team behind the Bayern - let alone something like a real title race.

Even before the game in Cofferdam, Hans-Joachim Watches listened to the Cup for the Cup during the week, as if the managing director did not want to recognize the problems of the team. And as for proved, the team then delivered a correspondingly significant game in the Kraichgau. With two separate goals, Dortmund came to three hits and against a clearly superior opponent in all respects somehow to the 3: 2 victory. Already in Frankfurt that was still good with the three points, now in Cofferdam, and a victory is a victory.

But for the development of the team and the hope that the results do not seem the view of the issues, a defeat in the Kraichgau would probably have been almost better for the BVB. The lead rank five would still be comfortable enough, but maybe a defeat would have had a purifying effect - and better influence on the coming weeks. Otherwise, the danger threatens to lie (Next) itself.

BVB notes: If Meunière is suddenly missing pain

TSG Cofferdam reaches the royal class

At Dortmund's opponent, the hammer was understandable after the game. Once again, the TSG laid a lightning performance, had the BVB as in phases in the sack in the sack - and was in the end again with the same result and empty hands there. But cont rainy with the Dortmund, the development in Cofferdam is a reason too much hope.

Sebastian Honey has not only got the curve after a difficult last season, but is clearly on course Champions League with his team - and is likely to reach the pressures of the last few weeks and months. Cofferdam benefits from a well-rehearsed team with clear and yet very flexible processes in all game phases and of course a squad, which can afford only a few other clubs in Corona times in the truest sense of the word.

Honey can turn fresh personnel again and again, from the bank comes enough in Cofferdam enough pressure, the power density in the squad is enormously high. Even if the results last not always with the performed services matched: Cofferdam's way is the right 1. And should be enough for a place in the premier class at the end of the season.

One of the best German central defenders plays at Union

In Berlin tires the dreams of the royal class, the played understatement of those responsible may actually be classified as folklore for weeks. The 1st FC Union is clearly on course Europe, the guarantor for the superior development is coach Urs Fischer. He actually managed to improve the largest strength of the team once again.

It remains scary hard to come to the goal success against Union. The Berliners have conceded the third readers of the league and coils without their supposedly the best internal chest Marvin Friedrich their pen sum Stomach. In the middle of Robin Knocked, a player considers the store, which is as representative of Union strategy as a few others.

In Wolfsburg, Knocked was not good enough, other Bundesligists hesitated - Union but grabbed. As with many other players of this kind or actors from the second league, the Berliners immediately winning. Knocked was in the dank circle of the national team, but then dropped.

Now in Berlin, he shows everything in a game idea tailored to his advantages, which makes up an above-average central defender. Knocked's special role with his out breaking into midfield, the proceed piece torque fits perfectly into the Berlin game. In direct duel, he is a bank to overcome heavily in the penalty area for clarifying actions in the air and on the ground. And that's why Union has one of the country's current central defenders in his defense.
