Vogts: “Almost all Bundesliga teams play like officials”

Cologne (SID) Berti Vogts praised Borussia Dortmund's sports director Michael Zorc for his criticism of "official football" at BVB. However, the former national soccer coach did not want to limit the assessment to Dortmund, as he explained to the news portal t-online.de. "Finally someone in charge of a club is saying this," said Vogts. "I would even go further and say that almost all teams in the Bundesliga play like officials. Bayern and Leipzig can perhaps be taken out of that. But otherwise it's okay "We played too little tempo, too much sideways and backwards, there was too much ball movement," said Vogts. The 1974 World Cup winner went on to say that he didn't want to discredit officials, "but the expression just hits the nail on the head and should be an incentive for the players." Before the duel on Saturday (18.30 p.m./Sky) between RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, Vogt does not see RB as the team that could pose a long-term threat to Bayern. “Strangely enough, when they see Bayern in the table, they are afraid. Especially a defeat like the one against Cologne – that simply can’t happen,” said Vogts. Vogts showed little understanding for Hasenhüttl's decision to only substitute national player Timo Werner in the 1th minute in the league game against Cologne (2:69). "I don't see him in training, so I can't judge how the coach can, but for me he's not only an outstanding player, but also one who has to be on the pitch for over 90 minutes," said the 71st -year olds. Vogts, who believes Borussia Dortmund will play the role of Bayern hunter in the long term, spoke out in favor of extending the contract with coach Peter Stöger. "In my opinion, Peter Stöger is doing a very good job. I think that Borussia Dortmund should not only give him a new contract, but also the chance to shape the squad more according to his needs in the summer," said Vogts.
