"How infuriating" ++ "I strive to position myself in front of the lens" - The reason behind Terzic's angry outburst.
Edin Terzic (41) and Borussia Dortmund celebrated a remarkable journey to the UEFA Champions League final at Wembley on June 1. Dortmund defeated Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain by a score of 1:0.
Four days later, the coach was left with a bitter taste as his team was outclassed by struggling Mainz at the bottom of the Bundesliga table. This was indicative of their season.
Once again, Terzic found himself facing questions about his team's underwhelming displays. It appeared that he had reached his wits' end...
Why Terzic lost his cool!
During a press conference, the coach said, "I always try to appear more cheerful in front of the camera than I actually feel. I've been reminded again today that we're a team capable of winning games, but not one that can win every game. We've shown that far too often this season."
Terzic continued, "It drives me crazy that we have to endure these stupid questions after every match. We've demonstrated that we can play good, mature, and sophisticated soccer. But we've yet to demonstrate the ability to maintain consistency, regardless of the opponent, competition, or day of the week."
The root cause of Terzic's outrage...
Throughout the season, his press conferences have largely been characterized by these comments: No matter who his team faced or in what competition, the head coach aimed to instill a winning mindset in the team. However, the "process" was taking significantly longer than expected. Extremely frustrating: Champions Bayer Leverkusen have shown this season how to achieve success quickly...
Terzic continued, "That's why we're in fifth place. I'm massively annoyed because we have so much potential. But honestly, Mainz did quite well today."
The central query: How can the vastly different performances in the Bundesliga and Champions League be explained? Dortmund must exhibit consistent displays in the upcoming season. Otherwise, Terzic risks sinking into despair.
