In the last 10 games in Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund won only two times, and lost five games. This statistic could be more appropriate for a team destined for relegation struggle, not the squad who played in the Champions League final last season. So far, BVB are too far from the fourth spot which leads to the UEFA‘s most prestigious competition, and trail Freiburg by 10 points! They have also changed their coach already and many believed that hard-handed Niko Kovač will bring order and stability in to the team. But the losing streak continued, and BVB even lost to sorry Bochum, who is in a dire relegation battle. This embarrassment was followed by a 0-0 drew at home against Sporting. So, Kovač needs to find a remedy very soon, but the problem is that even he doesn‘t know how to do it.Jude is not enough: Madrid are after another Dortmund gemSo far, the former Bayern Munich manager is trying to be as positive as he can be, and it goes to the point where he is publicly lying about his players. His midfielder trio (Gross, Sabitzer and Brandt) have been performing terrible and were run over by sorry Bochum and yet his publicly encouraging them: “Sabi is doing a really great job. I’m convinced that Pascal is doing a very good job. Jule has collected three points in four games, which is completely fine”. One of the few rising stars who is believed to be the next Jandon Sancho (read: the next Englishman to be sold for big bucks), Jamie Gittens is completely out of form (zero goals or assists it the last five consecutive games). Niko‘s responce? “I’m very happy with Jamie”.Borussia’s free fall has no end – defeat against last-placed teamSo far, Kovač is doing all he can – he is lying to the public in order to restore player‘s self-confidence. He cannot do anything else as he came after the January transfer window and cannot bring any new players. He cannot change hi out of form midfield trio as all other players are injured. So, he needs to bring their level of confidence.”We have to strengthen ourselves through our minds, because our minds can manipulate a lot of things. We must therefore make sure that we win the game against Union. Not just to climb up the table, but above all for ourselves, for each individual, for our self-confidence and for our sense of self-evidence” he said before the game.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 23Friday Freiburg – Werder 5-0 (2-0)/Sildillia 15, Grifo 33,57, Doan 76, 90+2/Saturday 17.30: (11.0) Holstein Kiel (6.75) Leverkusen (1.27)17.30: (1.90) M’ gladbach (3.80) Augsburg (4.20)17.30: (1.75) Mainz (3.50) St.Pauli (5.00)17.30: (1.55) Wolfsburg (4.10) Bochum (6.00)20.30: (1.60) Dortmund (4.00) Union Berlin (5.70)Sunday 17.30: (1.40) RB Leipzig (5.30) Heidenheim (8.00)19.30: (1.30) Bayern (5.90) Eintr.Frankfurt (9.00)21.30: (3.70) Hoffenheim (3.70) Stuttgart (2.05)***odds are subject to change***
