Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has described emerging reports of a crisis at the club as “sick.”
But Watzke said: “The matches against Leipzig and Frankfurt were a spectacle. That’s what the audience wants to see, what pulls them into the stadium.
“The Bundesliga is exciting again, but the media makes it look like we are facing relegation.
“If you, after the Leipzig and Frankfurt matches, witnessed the BVB fans celebrating the team for the football they play, it just becomes clear there’s a completely different atmosphere in the club.
“I don’t have a lot of understanding for the reporting. That is sick.”
Citing Dortmund’s injury crisis, especially in defence, Watzke said he had nevertheless seen good things at Frankfurt.
And Zorc added: “It’s an accolade if, despite our lead in the table, the coach comes under fire. It’s ridiculous.”
