In the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Leverkusen's "Bayer" defeated Monchengladbach's "Borussia" and eliminated them from further competition. To determine the winner in the match, only one goal was needed, but what stood out from this duel was not the winning goal, but an episode when the coach of the victorious team decided to "dive". In the 74th minute, one of the "Gladbach" players ran to get the ball near the "Bayer" bench, and there the "Bayer" coach Heiko Herrlich dramatically fell to the ground when the opponent did not even push him, but only touched him with a hand gesture. Internet users mocked this strategist, who received negative feedback for this action.
What a dive... from the manager?!
