Edin Terzic saw coach Borussia Dortmund The UEFA Champions League finalist said that his team deserved to be defeated by Mainz in the German First Division at the beginning of this week, in light of its lack of motivation to achieve stability in the level of performance.
Lee Jae-sung scored two goals for Mainz, after Leandro Bareiro opened the scoring, as Dortmund lost 3-0 yesterday, Saturday.
Terzic’s team had the opportunity to push Mainz towards the region of clubs threatened by relegation, but it rose to 15th place, two points behind the position it previously occupied, which requires its owner to go through a playoff round to avoid relegation.
“We deserved to lose to Mainz”
Terzic indicated that he wants his team, which is ranked fifth in the local league, to maintain its level of solidity after last Tuesday’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the aggregate of the two semi-final matches with a score of 2-0, which qualified it for the final of the first European club championship against champion Real Madrid. Spain on the first of next June.
Terzic told reporters: “Let’s… talk about last week and this week… We were the team that always fell behind in possession of the ball and always lost it in tackles.”
He continued: “So the defeat was deserved. Mainz was brave in every inch of the field, and did not let us possess the ball safely, while we did that.”
He added: “We showed that we can provide a good and mature performance, but we did not prove that regardless of the opponent, the competition, the days of the week and the stadium, and this is what makes me angry.”
Terzic said: “We have a lot and we cannot present it on the field every time.”
Borussia Dortmund’s balance was frozen at 60 points in fifth place, but it guaranteed qualification for the Champions League next season because it was 14 points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt, which is in sixth place.
