Lucien Favre's Dortmund attacked Bayern

On Saturday could trigger the Swiss coach with an away win in the top match against the FC Bayern München a football-Eruption.

"All of my players have the potential to make further progress – technically, tactically, physically, mentally." This assessment comes from the man who has studied the current team of Borussia Dortmund every day down to the last Detail: Lucien Favre made in mid-January on the Costa of the Sol in a conversation with Keystone-SDA thoughts on the second best preliminary round of the club's history. A more concrete usually forecast, not to let the 61-year-old Swiss-elicit, of course. "I have listed the goals for me personally. That's enough."

Major outages during the last months

Twelve weeks later, you think in black-and-yellow part of the Ruhrpotts no different. The interim low in February, with just one win in eight games has stirred up in the trainer's office less dust than in the Headquarters of the headline producers. The Club officers lost in the Winter of the points, but never had the nerve. To them, it was clear that the injury-related failures of the service provider, Manuel Akanji and Marco Reus could trigger due to not überdotierten squad shocks.

image range: Favre's coaching career

Of the campaigns-Posse of the "Bild-Zeitung" was not a Dortmunder provoke, even though the tabloid newspaper had stated at the all round strike against the coach. "Don't know, he's not more – or, again, what's it all about? He has encapsulated completely in his coaching world, hiding the title crisis in public behind tactics drivel." A month later, the BVB occurs as a stable Leader to the summit in Munich, Germany.

The Swiss has the Borussia

stabilized for the First time in what felt like an eternity, the German Clásico more than just a prestigious snapshot. Dortmund has the opportunity to affect the six-year-old monologue of Bayern seriously. Since Jürgen Klopp's last title win with Dortmund the Borussia per season lost an average of 22 points on the record champion.

this year, however, the FCB moved seven laps before the end, because Favre has done since last summer, which he managed to do for nearly 15 years: The Romand produced better results, as it will keep the statisticians. After the FC Zurich, Hertha Berlin, Borussia Mönchengladbach and OGC Nice, he has made Borussia Dortmund the better. Compared to the dismal year-on-year, the Club is no longer visible. The pace of development impressed even Favre: "Normally you need at least two, three transfer periods to a team in a building," he said.

Favre, of tactics-Fox

For him to speak, to be the time once more. His tactical Repertoire comes in handy, because, once again, extensive medical Bulletin, forcing him to the top of the game in Munich to changes. Still, he considers how the season-Out of Real-Madrid-on loan from Achraf Hakimi is a catch. In the "image" designed Tunnel Favre is not, in its analyses in the light of day.

Part of Favre is not, however, all of his strategies. Public duty dates are not there for him, in order to uncover the cards and place the big announcements. Probably that is why the stereotypes of "absent-minded Professor, Nerd, and doubters" ("Tagesspiegel") quickly to the medial Hand. Others, such as Michael Jahn's have a closer look. The Hertha-connoisseurs will soon publish a book about Favre: "The better maker".

extension is a matter of time

In Munich, could Favre his almost twelve-year-old Era in the foreign add the next peak. The chances of getting a good result are considerable. 70 per cent of its 255 Bundesliga matches, has not lost in the Romand, since his arrival in North Rhine-Westphalia, he even went to only eight percent of the cases, the losers from the lawn. Against Bayern, even the earlier master-Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld had no better track record – Favre comes in 15 matches, five wins and three draws.

In Germany, was Favre statistically per game, which is never successful and sought-after. Compared to the TV channel "Eurosport" confirmed club chief Hans-Joachim Watzke, the Dortmund intention to extend the 2020 fixed contract at an early stage. "We want to continue to make, is indisputable. If both want the Same thing, it's relatively easy."

Watzke maintains with the demanding Swiss a good and constructive exchange of views. After difficult years, with Thomas Tuchel, and Peter Bosz, he appreciates the co-operation with a grounded clock that says, "you should have as a Coach, never have the feeling to know everything".
