especially important is that now that the spec close to dortmund you mentioned. he's had a bit of a bumpy start his life by munich as a football yourself do you think that this win today was his doing or have the players finally taking responsibility well i never think that it's the fault solely of the coach or solely of the players and a lot of criticism was put on call back to the beginning of season throughout the season it's difficult being byron coach we know that but i don't think that everything was his fall and i don't think that you know he should be held responsible for everything i think the players were underperforming and now everything's just going to click this is his first season as a coach there were going to be ups and downs older players injuries all that happens but what's important is that right now they look like they're clicking they got important three points today dortmund dropped three points i think they're happy where they are. they've played lucky today as we know and. have been in the business they can have the season they've never s
