Dortmund's "Borussia" unexpectedly played a 3:3 draw at home with the Bundesliga's bottom team "Paderborn" on Friday.
True, BVB were very close to losing as they were trailing 0:3 after the first half, but in the second half, they managed to respond to their opponents with three accurate strikes.
Marco Reus, who scored the equalizing goal, apologized to all the team's fans after the match but couldn't explain why BVB looked so poor in the first half.
"We have to apologize to our fans who were at the stadium. I can't explain what happened in the first half. It's even hard to describe such a performance.
It was simply shameful, and such things cannot happen again. It was clear during the break that we needed to show a proper reaction," M. Reus told DAZN.
The BVB captain also said that the coach prepared the team properly, but the players themselves couldn't implement the game plan.
"The coach always prepares us well for the matches. It is we, the players, who are responsible for following the game plan on the field.
Sometimes we lack mutual understanding. We have to attack and defend as a team. Right now, we are not doing it very well," added the German.
