El equipo de Lucien
Favre, muy criticado tras la derrota sufrida ante el Lazio en la primera
jornada
Al Borussia Dortmund le
llovieron las críticas tras caer ante el Lazio en la primera jornada de la
liguilla de Champions 2020-21 (3-1) y no tiene otro remedio que ofrecer este
miércoles su mejor versión contra el Zenit, que por su parte empezó perdiendo
contra el Brujas (1-2). El equipo de Lucien Favre apela a los goles de Erling
Haaland (que marcó el único gol de su equipo ante los ‘laziale’) y sus demás
estrellas para ganar esta noche a los de San Petersburgo.
El Borussia Dortmund, sin
Emre Can (positivo por coronavirus) viene de golear al Schalke el pasado sábado
en el derbi de la Cuenca del Ruhr en Bundesliga (3-0). El equipo de Favre es 3º
en la tabla del campeonato alemán, a un punto del líder Leipzig y con los
mismos que el Bayern, 2º gracias a la diferencia de goles.
La victoria en el derbi
del Ruhr supuso un bálsamo para el Borussia Dortmund tras el varapalo sufrido
en el Olímpico de Roma. No en vano las críticas tras esta derrota en el estreno
en la presente edición de la Champions llegaron desde todos los sectores,
incluida la cúpula del club. Michael Zorc, director deportivo del Dortmund, se
mostró irónico: “En defensa, nosotros hemos respetado escrupulosamente la
distancia social”. En el otro partido del grupo F, Brujas-Lazio.
A Lucien Favre se le
volvió a acusar de dirigir a un equipo tan lleno de talento como inconstante.
El entrenador del Borussia Dortmund también se mostró a su vez crítico con sus
jugadores. El último título logrado por el equipo del Signal Iduna Park fue la
Copa de Alemania de 2017, a las órdenes de Thomas Tuchel, en la actualidad al
frente del Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Verdugo del Dortmund en octavos de la
pasada Champions.
El Zenit, por su parte,
perdió el pasado sábado por 1-2 contra el Rubin Kazan. Los de San Petersburgo
son terceros, a 3 puntos del líder, el Spartak de Moscú.
