On July 22, Dortmund suffered a disappointing 0-4 loss against Thai League team Buriram United in a friendly match. After the game, new Dortmund coach Şahin commented that he was unhappy with the team’s defense but would not criticize the young players.
“This was a painful defeat. I am very unsatisfied with our defensive performance, and we need to continue working hard in this area. I won’t criticize the young players; this is all new for them.”
“Regarding the players, we need Süle to take on more responsibility, and he has indeed shown that; Brandt has been constantly improving since I knew him in the Bundesliga, becoming a team leader through his style of play.”
This Wednesday at 6:15 PM, Dortmund will travel to Japan to play a friendly match against Cerezo Osaka.
