His statement caused a sensation. “We’ll talk about it in a few weeks,” was Lucien Favre’s answer last Tuesday after the defeat against Bayern when asked if he feared a debate that he simply couldn’t win titles with Dortmund. Legend Lothar Matthäus then speculated that Favre would resign and Niko Kovac (48) could take over at BVB (BLICK reported).

«In a way selfish»
Since then, Favre has been discussed in the Ruhrpott – again. Does he really think of himself? As with Hertha 2009 and Gladbach 2015? “His departures in the past were sudden,” recalls Mike Hanke, former Gladbach player under Favre, in the “double pass”. Hanke continues: «I think that’s selfish in a way. From one day to the next, he lets the club and the team down. » At BVB too? No. Favre doesn’t think about quitting. “I will fulfill this contract,” says the Dortmund coach, who signed until summer 2021.

And Favre is strengthened by BVB sports director Hans-Joachim Watzke. “There is currently no need for a trainer discussion,” explains Watzke of the “Funke Media Group”. “We play a very, very good second half of the season, got 27 out of 30 points before the game and were praised everywhere.”

Favre was misunderstood
So why is Favre repeatedly criticized? “The fact that Lucien Favre, who drastically improved his team at each of his seven head coaching stations, is regarded as a coach in Germany, who ‘wins nothing’ is one of the insane aspects of German sports journalism,” summarizes Daniel Raecke, journalist at Spiegel, the mystery of Favre on Twitter together.

Michael Jahn, the author of the Favre biography “Der Bessermacher”, tries to explain: “Lucien Favre is always polite and courteous. He is an interesting interlocutor and a great football teacher, who unfortunately sometimes gets in his own way. He is a procrastinator who is in love with detail and who sometimes sometimes does not see the big picture. »

And Oliver Müller, former «World» reporter, says: With his «somewhat cryptic statement», Favre was completely misunderstood. But: “I would not bet house and farm that Favre would fulfill his contract with BVB until the last day,” said Müller.

Favre and BVB only lost two games this year. In February against Leverkusen (3: 4) and last week against Bayern (0: 1). Otherwise, the Dortmund team won all league games in 2020 – they are confidently in second place behind the currently practically unbeatable Bayern. The numbers definitely speak for Favre. (mam)
