They never had the mentality of winning that encounter, imagine leading by a goal and they all started defending against a team that loves to fall all out whenever they sees their opponent defending, that's not how to play against Bayern Munich if you want to win. I do blame some of the other clubs who are the contenders for the Bundesliga title, they're not making enough effort to mount pressure on the league leaders (Bayern Munich), they lose and draw when they are suppose to get a complete point. Even the Barbarians are not as good as they used to be, to me I still see those teams from number 1 spot to 5 as equal, non of them has that force of winning straight 5 games without dropping point.
I agree with you. Dortmund did not have a winning mentality. If they had a winning mentality, Dortmund players would have played in an attacking style throughout the match. After scoring a goal, Dortmund players did not try to score more goals. Dortmund played defensively. And tried to end the match at 1-0 or 1-1.
Dortmund cannot be called a very strong team this season. Dortmund's performance has been very inconsistent since the beginning of the season. So Dortmund had little chance of getting 3 points against a strong team like Bayern Munich. Even then, Dortmund was tactical in this match. So they managed to get 1 point from the match. Honestly, we expected Bayern Munich to win in this match. But in the end, Dortmund got 1 point from the match. However, if Dortmund had also played in an attacking style, the match would have been more exciting.
Playing against a more attacking side like Bayern Munich shouldn't be only defending, is all about attack attack attack. A 1nil lead is never going to decide who's going to be the winner not while you have about 45'mins more to play. No wonder better players don't stay long in the team instead they leave and it helps them win trophies they could not win with the team. Dortmund has never been a stronger team ever since they couldn't get that trophy off Bayern, if they couldn't get 3pt in this first leg I don't think a point can be gotten in the return leg because Bayern would want to maintain that spot that's if they'll still be at the top and we all know that Dortmund can never be relied on to stop Bayern Munich from winning the trophy this season.
