The coach of Borussia Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel stood firmly at his words, that his players were too often fouled in the course of the games. Before the match against Hertha, the coach of the Bundesliga stressed that despite appearances he never wanted the red card for a specific player.
The occasion for these comments arose from the previous round, in which 'Black-Yellow' decreased by 0:2 against Bayer Leverkusen. After the derby, Tuchel spoke very harshly for the extremely hard approach of the rivals, and his statement raised an uproar in Germany.
'The opponent crosses all sorts of boundaries. Typically, if a team has made so many fouls in a game, then it will not finish with 11 men.', noted then the angry professional.
It got to the fact that the coach of Hertha Paul Dardai criticized Tuchel with the claim that his talk may influence the decisions of the referees from now on. The coach of Borussia did not hide that he was surprised by the scale of the reaction after his remarks.
'I'm surprised that the discussion about the fouls was above any limits.I am rarely going over the number of violations when I read the statistics from a match. I did not require red cards for anything and anyone. The only thing was, it was the imbalance between the underlying and suffered violations.', said Tuchel.
'I think that 20 fouls in one game are well above the permissible. Despite all the competition, I don't think that's the way to play football. Right now, it is questionable whether we will have 16 players from the first team ready for the match with Hertha. We will need to add the part of adolescents.', added Tuchel.
