I believe that ... - Terzic's desired goals for Nagelsmann at BVB.
inEdin Terzic (41), coach of Borussia Dortmund, shares a wish regarding Julian Nagelsmann (36), the national coach.*
While discussing the squad nominations for the upcoming European Championship, Terzic hopes for a larger squad size this time. However, the final call is not in their hands.*
ZDF reporter Boris Büchler asks: "With only Füllkrug being part of the squad during selection in March, can the national coach possibly nominate just one player from the Champions League finalists?"
Terzic replies: "We'd definitely appreciate having a larger squad compared to last time. The decision isn't ours to make, but we believe our performances deserve more inclusion in the nominations now."
Büchler proceeds with: "Surely, you've heard something - are Hummels and Schlotterbeck included?"
Terzic: "Nothing concrete yet. It's too early since the nominations won't happen until Thursday. The final decisions are typically made after the last Bundesliga matchday preceding nominations; the national coach usually bases his choices on the forthcoming game."
The conversation between Büchler and Terzic later touches upon the recent Mainz loss, which saw the coach making ten changes from the team that won against PSG (1:0) in the Champions League semifinal second leg. Büchler inquires: "Is that a delicate balancing act for you being the coach? On one hand, you're doing extensive rotation, while on the other, maintaining fair competitiveness during relegation struggles?"
Terzic: "Absolutely. Both Cologne, Union Berlin, and Bochum are understandably upset today. Last week, things were different - no one's angrier than us, particularly me."
Recalling the controversial 5:1 loss against Augsburg, Terzic's previous rotational approach in the 0:3 defeat against Mainz witnessed a significant turn in fortunes.
Dortmund's final Bundesliga game of the season faces Darmstadt next Saturday (May 18, 3:30 PM). With their fifth-place position already secure, qualifying them for this season's Champions League.
The hotly-anticipated Champions League final against Real Madrid is set for Wembley Stadium on June 1 (9 PM).
