Bundesliga - Hamann criticizes Dortmund players: "Soon the HSV syndrome"
For Dietmar Hamann (50), Borussia Dortmund's players are responsible for the club's current plight in the Bundesliga. Although the current fifth-placed team has repeatedly produced great young players such as Jadon Sancho, Ousmane Dembélé and Jude Bellingham, "everyone else who has come to Dortmund has got worse. They'll soon have the HSV syndrome: that all the players they bring in get worse," criticized the former international on the Sky90 programme.
The new signings Marcel Sabitzer, Ramy Bensebaini and Felix Nmecha as well as captain Emre Can, who has been playing for BVB since January 2020, would only shine "through non-performance". Hamann had this to say about Julian Brandt: "He has three good games, then he's the misjudged genius again and then you don't see him for another six weeks." The international is therefore "the prototype of Borussia Dortmund's problem: when things are going well, they're wonderful, they can all play soccer, but we can all do that. And when things aren't going well, you need the guys who lead the way."
Despite four league games without a win recently, Hamann defended BVB coach Edin Terzic, saying that he is too often let down by the players. However, he would like Terzic to "intervene". The coach is perhaps too well-behaved: "You have to intervene and if he doesn't do it, then Watzke and Kehl should go and publicly intervene," demanded Hamann.
BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke and sporting director Sebastian Kehl had recently held back with public criticism of the players. After the meagre 1:1 in Augsburg on Saturday, Kehl also did not want to comment on the situation of coach Terzic.
