The Wrong start of the Champions League in Lazio in my mind that Revier Derby against Schalke 04 a corona infection in the chest at Emre Can as a mortgage – and to top it off, BVB coach Lucien Favre has also opened an unnecessary construction site in the goalkeeping position.
Already at the 1: 3 in Rome, which he couldn’t do much against himself, Marwin Hitz was a bit of a surprise, instead of the actual regular player Roman Bürki in the penalty area of Borussia Dortmund.
For Pott’s goal against Schalke, it is still completely open who prefers BVB coach Favre – and thus plenty of room for discussion. (Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund – FC Schalke 04 from 6.30 p.m. in LIVETICKER)

Bürki slowed down due to muscle problems and a cold
One thing is clear: the problem is not just homemade. Bürki had had slight muscle problems since the beginning of September, which is why Hitz was allowed to take part in the DFB Cup against MSV Duisburg on September 14 and kept his chest clean in the 5-0 win against the third division.
Then the number 1 was fit again and took over in the Bundesliga from Borussia Mönchengladbach (3: 0) and FC Augsburg (0: 2). Only then did Bürki develop a bad cold that lasted five days. As a result, he fell out of the Supercup against FC Bayern (0: 3) and for the game against SC Freiburg (4: 0), Hitz took over again. (Maintenance: Bundesliga schedule and results)
Hitz against Lazio surprised in goal
The fact that Bürki did not play against TSG Hoffenheim on October 17th was a bit of a surprise – given the upcoming English weeks and the tough schedule, the measure was still understandable for many observers.
Why Favre has decided against the undisputed number 1 at Lazio in recent years raises further questions.
Because: In the last three weeks since October 5th, Bürki has been persecuted SPORT 1-Information participated in almost every training session, including fully trained during the international break. So he was completely in the juice and theoretically could have played against Hoffenheim, but at the latest against Rome.

Hitz instead of Bürki – but no real reason
Which is also amazing: After SPORT 1-Information, Favre had given neither Hitz nor Bürki a correct reason for the goalkeeper change until Friday.
The coach never spoke to any of the Swiss compatriots about it. With Michael Zorc (sports director) and Sebastian Kehl (head of the department for licensed players), BVB sports management was not told why Bürki suddenly stopped playing.
Favre never justified his decision or correctly communicated it to the outside world. At the press conference before the game against Schalke, the Swiss only said: “Roman was a little sick and injured. He missed the cup game and an away game in the Bundesliga. “
BVB keepers have a good relationship
It is also a fact: Both goalkeepers, whose personal relationship is good, have their strengths. (Maintenance: Bundesliga table)
Bürki scores with strong control over the penalty area, is also one-to-one and sometimes makes things untenable. Unlike in the past, when the Swiss international goalkeeper made some mistakes in the attack points, he has actually been undisputed lately.
Hitz, who was number 1 at FC Augsburg for years before moving to BVB, is highly valued by Dortmund teammates, is very communicative and responsible for his defense.
The 33-year-old has always done his job as representative of Bürki, who was four years younger than him – it is possible that Favre relied on it, especially since the BVB defense was badly damaged, especially in Rome without it Manuel Akanji. Emre Can and Dan-Axel Zagadou. And in the heat In any case, it looked dissatisfied with the own goal to make it 2-0Bürki also wobbled a little in the 2-0 draw against Augsburg.

Bürki or Hitz – who will play in the derby against Schalke?
One of the biggest questions for BVB vs. So Schalke stays: Who is Favre betting on in goal? Internally, those responsible at BVB assume that regular Bürki will be allowed to play again.
However, Favre did not get carried away to make a clear statement to the PK. He just said, “We’ll see. I can not say more.” Again the impression was that he could have moderated the topic better.
And one thing is certain: When S04 has heat in the gate again, the goalkeeper discussion at BVB will finally be stirred up.
