Lack of trust and communication failure have led to this irreversible situation.
Before the 20 15- 16 season, as the successor of klopp, Tuchel became the coach of Dortmund. Tuchel is a young and passionate coach, and his achievements in coaching Mainz have been recognized. After coaching Dortmund, he helped the team get rid of klopp's heavy feeling last season, led the team out of a dead end and led the team to play offensive football.
In the first season when tuchel coached Dortmund, the team scored 78 league points, becoming the runner-up with the highest points in Bundesliga history. Even so, Dortmund had a chance to narrow the gap with Bayern in early March, but drew 0-0 with Bayern at home. In the second leg of the Europa League 1/4 final, Dortmund lost to his opponent 4-3 and missed the semi-final with a 3-/KLOC-0 lead over Liverpool. In the German Cup final, Dortmund lost to Bayern on penalties and didn't win the championship all season.
At this time, Tuchel has become a household name in European football, but his relationship with the club leadership began to crack. Last summer, Dortmund once again failed to retain key players in the team, and traded mkhitaryan, Gundogan and Hummels to Manchester United, Manchester City and Bayern, the biggest competitor in the domestic league.
Tuchel is not happy. Tuchel hopes to lead the team to win the championship in the 20 16- 17 season. He knows that the three players traded are the backbone of the team in the 20 15- 16 season, and the team needs them. Dortmund club CEO Vozke has promised that the team will not sell all three players. However, they all left. By selling these three players who are about to enter the final year of their contract with the team, Dortmund has earned more than 654.38 billion euros.
Dortmund decided to strengthen the attack power of the team and introduce experienced players while continuing to train young people. This club signed eight players, including Dembele and other young players, and returned to Dortmund's mario gotze from Bayern. The total signing fee exceeded 1. 1 billion euros. However, Dortmund's signing policy is a bit strange-among the eight new players signed by the team, no one can replace Gondogan who is good at connecting midfielders or defender Hummels who is good at organizing attacks.
At the same time, team legends Kuba and Subotic, who are deeply loved by fans but have passed their peak, have been sent away. However, Subotic, who was troubled by injuries, stayed in Dortmund for six months before leaving.
Tuchel feels that Watzck can't buy the players he wants, such as Bayer Leverkusen defender toprak, who has rich experience in the Bundesliga. Last summer, Tuchel described the team's reconstruction process as "full of risks", while Watzck described the team's reconstruction plan as "ambitious".
Since then, the relationship between Tuchel and Watzck has gone from bad to worse.
Even earlier, Tuchel and Sven Mislintat, the chief scout of Dortmund who once found lewandowski and Obameian, were at odds at 20 16 and 1. It is said that the two men disagreed on whether to introduce Atletico Madrid midfielder oliver torres, and the final result was that tuchel banned Misrintat from the team's training ground. In Dortmund, Misrintat has a close relationship with Salk Club in Sports director.
Tuchel broke his retreat, and the rift between the club's top management and the fans continued to widen. Tuchel lost. Within the team, from the moment Tuchel criticized Hummels who was about to join Bayern after the 20 16 German Cup final, some players began to question him.
Tuchel also lost the support of some influential Dortmund fans. Jan-Henrik Ceschi, a famous Dortmund fan and historian, said: "Tuchel has never identified with the club."
Last season, Dortmund performed quite well in the Champions League group stage, leading all teams participating in the Champions League with a goal of 2 1. But in the Bundesliga, Dortmund only ranked sixth before Christmas, less than Bayern and Leipzig 12 and 9 points respectively. By June 65438+February last year, people had realized that Tuchel would probably not coach Dortmund for a long time. On June 65438+ 10, Wozke put pressure on Tuchel, saying that he would be disappointed if the team fell out of the top three in the Bundesliga. Tuchel has only 18 months left in the contract with Dortmund, but the renewal negotiation has been postponed.
At the beginning of 20 17, Dortmund continued to be in turmoil. 5438+ 10 In June, a friendly match between Dortmund and Erfort was cancelled because the flight could not land at the local airport; The club bought a player that Tuchel had never heard of: Alexander Isak.

In February, Borussia Dortmund was punished for closing the south stand in the following match against Wolfsburg due to the violent incident of fans at home against Leipzig ... Borussia Dortmund also lost to the relegation team darmstadt, and Tuchel once again criticized the club's signing plan. Gezer announced the season reimbursement due to metabolic disorder in February; In March, due to bad weather, the match between Dortmund and Lotte was postponed. Obamyan is controversial because he wears a Nike mask to celebrate the goal (note: Puma is Dortmund's shareholder and sponsor), and there are often rumors that he will switch to other teams.
Soon, the discord between Tuchel and Dortmund's management was reported in the newspapers. Some media sided with the club, and some revealed some secrets that Dortmund thought were leaked by Olaf Mainkin, Tuchel's consultant. Some people think that McGinn makes the client (Tuchel) seem to have a higher coaching ability than the actual level behind the scenes.
"These distorted statements were spread by several anonymous people." Megan said, "This is immoral. Anonymous rumors are widely circulated, but they have nothing to do with me. As Tuchel's closest confidant, I have also been attacked by some people. "
On April 1 1, before the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 final, the Dortmund bus was attacked by explosives three times on its way to the stadium. On the whole, the team is quite lucky-only team defender Baltra was injured and taken to the hospital. After the explosion, the match between Dortmund and Monaco was postponed to the next day, and Dortmund CEO Watzck and UEFA agreed to reschedule the match.
The game has to go on, but the players in tuchel and Dortmund are unhappy. Tuchel lashed out at UEFA's decision, saying that he only received a short message about the postponement of the match, but it also meant that he was dissatisfied with Wozniak. Dortmund players feel that they are treated like animals.
Dortmund was eliminated by Monaco in the final of 1/4. It is understandable that it is difficult for players to concentrate on playing football-before the second round, Dortmund players sat in the club bus for 20 minutes for no reason, and then the bus began to drive to the stadium.
Tuchel once won some public opinion with his tough remarks. He continued to do this in the turbulent 20 17 years, but in Dortmund, not everyone believed him.
"In the last few months, Tuchel's communication had only one purpose, and that was to save himself from pain." Master Saaski said.
In early May, after a series of incidents, Watzck accused tuchel of not telling the truth about the consequences of the explosion. Wattzke first confirmed that he had a "disagreement" with Tuchel, and then he told Sü ddeutsche Zeitung that he informed the news of the postponement of the game by phone (not just by text message) ... It was like a childish struggle between children.
In the following weeks, some media began to whitewash the top management of Dortmund Club, describing Tuchel as a person who didn't respect the facts when making remarks. However, Megan said, "Thomas (Tuchel) is always aboveboard when communicating with people. This is the most important thing. "
Dortmund and Tuchel originally intended to bridge their differences through talks, but later the purpose of their communication became to negotiate a way to break up without hurting the reputation of the club and coach. Watzck said in May that the focus of the summer offseason negotiations would be "strategy, communication and trust other than sports", and Tuchel's consultant also reiterated that he would "enter the pre-announced negotiations on an equal footing"-it's a pity that Tuchel did not leave any retreat for himself in Dortmund, so that the management, players and staff of the club opposed him.
Last Saturday, after Dortmund beat Frankfurt to win the German Cup, the rift between Tuchel and some players was once again exposed to the public. Weigel was absent due to an ankle injury, but Shaheen, one of the captains, was still not selected. Dortmund's vice-captains, Schmahl Xie and marco reus, were "shocked" that Shaheen was not included in the squad, and publicly expressed their full support for their teammates.
In the relationship between Tuchel and Dortmund, all trust has been exhausted, and no one can turn back.
For Dortmund, which experiences drastic changes every summer, this summer will also be full of uncertainty. The urgent task of this club is to find a manager to replace Tuchel, so that the team can stay away from the chaos outside the stadium and once again show its competitiveness in the Bundesliga and Europe.
