Photo: Kovac must eliminate the players careless attitude, and the midfield must still improve creativity

August 28: Dortmund renewed his contract with coach Kovac this Tuesday until 2027. German media Biography has included several major problems that the coach will solve in the next step, including the players' attitude, the team's poor offensive performance and their dependence on Gilasi. The report first pointed out that the renewal of the contract with Kovac means 100% trust in the club management. However, after a stumbled over German C side Essen (1-0) in its first German Cup and a terrible 3-3 draw against Sao Pauli, he had to make some adjustments to the team to avoid a roller coaster-like season again.

Bodiac listed the biggest problems of Dortmund under Kovac's rule:

1. Attitude:

Kovac said after the game: "In Sao Paulo, we experienced exactly what I told the team before. The game will be very intense, and we must work very hard on physical confrontation to gain something. But I think we didn't do this in almost 90 minutes!"

His speech was undoubtedly a loud slap for every Dortmund star, and this recurring careless attitude must be eliminated from the players as soon as possible. Kovac is perfectly capable of doing this, and he has proven convincingly in the second half of last season.

2. Poverty in the content of the game:

is almost symbolic, and it is precisely that Sabitz, who was almost to be cleaned for a time, became the best Dortmund player in the midfield. New players Job Bellingham and Gross and Felix Enmecha who were expected must bring more creativity and they must control the game.

3. Reliance on Gilasi:

It is hard to imagine what Dortmund would be like if the number one scorer was injured or suspended. Without Gilasi, who Kovac calls "life insurance", the Yellow and Black Legion may have huge problems in winning the game.

4. Many "problem children":

Adeyemi undoubtedly has great potential, but his performance in away game against Sao Paulo is once again worrying, and it makes people worry that this will be another season with ups and downs, climaxes and troughs.

The same thing applies to Brandt: although he contributed immediately with his goal, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
