The Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund is sold out once more for the first time. For the first time in 763 days. But BVB does not manage to crown the great return of the fans. He goes down once morest Leipzig last Saturday with 1:4. Ouch.
The atmosphere in the stadium is correspondingly bad followingwards. After the final whistle, Manuel Akanji, the BVB defender, faces the journalists with a serious expression.
“What’s that shit regarding?”
Even before he can answer a first question, the Swiss has to accept nasty insults from the ranks. Even those that have nothing to do with sport – below the belt.
Akanji won’t let that sit. He takes a step towards the bullying stadium visitors, raises his finger and defends himself. ‘What’s that crap? What are you going to the stadium for when you insult us like that?”
Only a BVB employee can calm the angry Nati defender.
Opposite view Akanji now comments on the scene: “Of course we were all disappointed following a game that we were really looking forward to – fans and players alike. Unfortunately, following a good start, our performance was no longer good. We stand by that. That’s why I find such bullying and personal hostilities unacceptable, I wanted to talk to the man regarding that.”
Not an isolated case
Such incidents are not isolated, Akanji continues. “We experience something like this once more and once more in other stadiums.”
Finally, he would like to emphasize that Dortmund has “excellent fans” who give us great support – as happened on Saturday before and during the 90 minutes! I had goosebumps as soon as I warmed up and saw many of my teammates’ eyes light up,” said Akanji.
