Bayer Leverkusen is a master at understatement. Three days before the end of season game, the club actually still chances for their first championship in club history. But sporting director Rudi Voeller rather congratulated the track competitors from Dortmund to proclaim instead the last hunt for the Bundesliga leaders.
"By the next or the week after next they will probably hold the cup in his hand," Voeller said after the arduous 2-1 against 1899 Hoffenheim and probably thought: I hope we will finally qualified for the Champions League. Seven points is the third-placed Leverkusen Hanoverians advance. Bayern Munich is back in fourth place eight points.
In fact, the points cushion is lush enough to focus for the short remainder of the long season on the BVB-hunting. However, the 1:5 system crash a week ago in Munich, Bayer sold all Titelflausen. This slows down the pressure to succeed, the young Dortmund competition. In the past six games earned himself the top eight points clear.
After the surprising 0-1 defeat at bottom club Borussia Mönchengladbach is located between the exceptional and anxiety. Grosskreutz said, although with unmistakable defiance: "Just because we lose a game, we do not get the great flutter." But Jürgen Klopp regretted awarded the match ball: "It was a very important game for us, because in the next few weeks it will not be easier." The coach knows his dark past.
As a coach in Mainz missed Klopp 2002 and 2003 in the final sprint twice the rise, although the club three games before season's end both times, the League ticket was virtually booked. In the all-or-nothing games of the era of the BVB Klopp was disappointed with remarkable reliability. In the Champions League, the club retired in 2008 from the first round against Udinese Calcio, Dortmund 2010 was no match in the group stage FC Sevilla and Paris St.
Germain. In the DFB Cup in three years once it was enough for the second round. On the last matchday of the 2008/2009 season, the playful young team the Champions League participation by a 1-1 draw at table-15. in Mönchengladbach. With the busy again before Santander of victory against FC Bayern (2:0, 3:1) and Bayer Leverkusen (3-1) broke through in the Dortmund this season, the series of great disappointments.
In these games, the league leaders in a special way, however, benefited from the projection to the followers. Dortmund felt no pressure, the opponents were in the street 'and it failed to use their supposedly last chance. The psychological games, such as Bayer-captain Simon Rolfes ("If this distance not be champion, then they will never master"), had no effect.
But three days before the end of season game, the championship is still undecided. Dortmund is five points ahead of Leverkusen. BVB important players are injured (Nuri Sahin), take the door is not (Lucas Barrios, Robert Lewandowski) or slip up in some inexplicable way (Neven Subotic). The current table situation is comparable to an astonishing way with the situation nine years ago, when the BVB celebrated its last championship.
Only the roles were then reversed. "I congratulate the Bayer Leverkusen title," said BVB CEO Gerd Niebaum at five points behind Bayer after the 0-1 defeat on 31 day of the season 2001/2002. Leverkusen in the season was the most spectacular German team of the past decade . Michael Ballack, Yildiray Basturk, Ze Roberto, Bernd Schneider and Dimitar Berbatov impressed with their way of playing the entire continent.
But Bayer, then and Dortmund on the way to a European Cup final, was absent in the final stage of the season the concentration. After a 1 . 2 home defeat against Werder Bremen was a 0-1 defeat in Nuremberg The mood of the board wants it in the coming weeks as follows: the Dortmund, nine years later show against Nuremberg and Bremen, that they have grown this demanding master exams.
