Borussia gave a crazy start, but the season began to slip.
With what problems the Dortmunds faced and how they can be solved, the leading program of the European WEEKEND program tried to sort out Avraam Campomar.
The main reason for the crisis in Borussia is the game. Dortmunds lack freshness in attack. And this is not related to the individual skill of performers or their physical form. For example, Pulisic even in a match with Bayern showed that he is in perfect game tone.
The team attacks with great strength, many players are located behind the ball in the foreign half of the field, but they do not have enough feats, correct movement, change of positions. This is especially felt against such teams as Bayern, who can calmly nullify such slow attacks of "bumblebees". All positional attacks become too predictable. If you play so slowly, then only the individual skill of the players will save you. So it was in the starting matches, and now the problems have begun, which completely lie on the shoulders of the head coach of the team.
Peter Bos does not provide players with possible options for solving specific attacking tasks. He taught the team to play well in a short pass, but when players reach the penalty area, they do not know what to do and start to hesitate. It turns out somewhere like this: "I told you where and how to stand, and there you already decide everything alone". Of course, there are players who can decide: Obamaimeung and Pulisic. But this does not help the team on a long distance. If you look at the history of Bos in Ajax, then we see that his team did not play as smoothly as many said. In the attack, everything was built only on the individual abilities of certain players. The championship they did not win, because they experienced many problems with weak opponents in the position attacks, and all the victories were mined on the class.
In the European League, they took advantage of the space that rivals left to them and dribbling Amina Younes on the left flank. You can not play the whole game near the penalty area on individuality, you need to help them show their individual qualities.
Weak composition We need to look at Borussia's composition and understand whether they will be able to set high goals now or not. Yes, Bavaria has also weakened, but even against its background, Dortmund looks weaker. Borussia already lacks the same potential as 2 years ago. Defense and the center of the field are very weak compared to past seasons and it makes itself felt. Weigl was absent for a long time in the composition, he is just beginning to appear. Royce can not be counted as a permanent player base. The team has to bet on young guys who still need a lot of time to play at a high level.
Borussia Klopp had a crazy pressure, but it was due to the fact that the line of defense could play high and close a huge space, taking on 40-50 meters. Today's Borussia can potentially put pressure, as the defense line has speed and ability to close a large zone, and in the center of the field there are physically strong players like Castro and Rafael Guerreiro who can really give a lot, but so far the pressure of Borussia is not stable. The only person in the composition who does not have any questions is Pulisic.
The implementation of Yarmolenko Yarmolenko was not lucky with the implementation in the match against Bavaria, these are the nuances of one day. Undoubtedly, Andrey strengthened the game of the team, but we will be honest - he was never a 100% player who realizes all his moments. Plus the level of opponents in the Bundesliga is much higher, so the player rarely appears in the final stages of the attack and in worse conditions: the defenders are more pressured, the smaller angle of the lumbago is given, the goalkeepers positively play better and close the space well. Andrew will need time to improve his game at the final stage. In Ukraine, Yarmolenko scored from 10 to 15 goals, if he comes to the same level in the Bundesliga - it will be perfect.
If you stay in the region of 8-10 goals per season - this will be a very good season for the Ukrainian midfielder.
The future of Bos in Borussia.
It depends entirely on whether the coach will be able to develop and deliver a positional attack at a high level with very large changes in positions, with transfers that will be aggravated, and will force the opponent to move from one flank to another. This will determine his future not only in Dortmund, but further coaching career.
