Yannik Keitel’s own goal six minutes later kept BVB in the game, but the black and yellows from Breisgau could not take anything countable. BVB central defender Manuel Akanji was self-critical on the Sky microphone. The voices for the game:
Borussia Dortmund loses in Freiburg: That’s what the BVB protagonists say
Manuel Akanji (BVB defender): “We made stupid mistakes. Twice. The first was caused by an error in the build-up game. The free kick was great, but we could have prevented it. The second was after a corner from us and we conceded the counterattack. It cannot be that we invite our opponents to goals. We can’t play like that and it just can’t happen. Now you carry on as if you had won – and analyze the mistakes. If you want to play up there, you mustn’t allow something like that. We have to concede fewer goals. “
Marco Reus (BVB captain): “Freiburg scored two goals, we only scored one. Of course you can’t win the game like that. We go behind with a free kick, which is exactly what we didn’t want. After that we had some good options, but we couldn’t get access to the front. We played our way too seldom because we didn’t move enough. It’s always difficult to play here. ”
Marco Rose (BVB-Trainer): “The most important data are the results and we are 1: 2 behind. Freiburg deserved the win just as they performed. We had to work incredibly hard for opportunities. It’s hard when you have to chase after the 9th minute. What we were planning to do fit in well with the Freiburg constitution. The point now is that we optimize processes. In some phases we had a slow pace. There are content-related things that we have to talk about. “
Freiburg defeated BVB: that’s what the SCF players say
Christian Günter (Freiburg captain): “We called everything that was needed to be able to counter Borussia Dortmund. The data is on their side, but the point is to throw everything in and take the chance you get. We earned the three points for the fight alone. “
Vincenzo Grifo (Freiburg goalscorer): “You always try and we also have others who can (direct free kicks, editor’s note). Then you have to take the euphoria and all your strength and today it worked. That was the can opener and helped us a bit. We played an excellent game. “
