Rivals on the football field, rivals off the field. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, two biggest names in Bundesliga in the last decade found themselves in a ’war of words’ after Round 4, and Borussia’s captain Marco Reus is in the middle of it. The Millionaires forward recently got back to the national team and was involved during the World Cup qualifying games, but left the team before the Island match due to injury. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? Well, that same Marco Reus, ended up playing for Borussia on Saturday and participated in a thrilling 4-3 win over Leverkusen. And that annoyed Bayern’s sporting director Hasan ’Brazzo’ Salihamidžić, even thou his team won comfortably against Leipzig.Haaland scores twice in a seven goal thriller in LeverkusenBrazzo was a guest in the Sky 90“ and admitted that this situation was a bit surprising for him, especially since Reus was renounced as a leading player.„That’s not my thing, but I find it surprising when you drive away from the national team and then play again a few days later. Leadership role? How does that work? You’ll be on the pitch every minute. Marco Reus is a good player, no question about it” said Salihamidzic.This is not the first time something like that happened, but as Brazzo puts it, not in Bayern. Serge Gnabry also had back problems, but played against Iceland. He even scored the first goal in the 4-0 win, and participated in a Leipzig derby, before getting injured again, which means he will miss the Barcelona derby in the Champions League, which clearly angered Brazzo. But he forgot that Thomas Muller also left the DFB quarter before the first of the three qualifiers against Liechtenstein, Armenia and Iceland and played in Leipzig.20:30 (1.48) Borussia M. (4.40) Bielefeld (7.25)And it didn’t take long for Borussia Dortmund’s counterpart to respond to Salihamidzic. And it was short but very direct answer:”Salihamidzic should keep his mouth shut and comment on the issues of Bayern Munich. Who does he think he is?” sporting director Michael Zorc said to Kicker.
