Dortmund is still undefeated, but following their 2-2 tie with Heidenheim, the supporters have started to turn against the squad. Following the draw, the team was jeered off the field as fans vented their resentment on the players, the manager, and the board of directors.
In the game against Heidenheim, Dortmund labored late on and at times appeared out of shape. While manager Edin Terzic has thus far failed to forge a playing identity within the club this season, his player tactical decisions have not been successful.
Behind the scenes at Dortmund, tensions have increased off the field. According to rumors, Terzic, Sebastian Kehl, and Hans-Joachim Watzke do not agree on all club-related issues.
This was evident in the summer when Terzic blocked Kehl’s attempts to recruit Edson Lvarez and chose Emre Can instead. Lvarez and Kehl had even established a personal agreement. . As a result of Dortmund failing to sign a quality replacement for Jude Bellingham and failing to strengthen other weak areas despite receiving €103 million for the Englishman, disagreements in squad planning have gotten worse at the start of the season.
