After an excellent start in the BVB jersey, Nico Schlotterbeck is in a bit of a slump. After the Frankfurt game, the central defender was self-critical and promised to improve.

In the current sports studio, Schlotterbeck reviewed some scenes from the game against Eintracht. The 22-year-old commented on his loss of possession against Mario Götze, which led to the controversial penalty scene between Jesper Lindström and Karim Adeyemi:

"I had the ball for me and I want to somehow clear it out of the danger zone, he [Götze] takes a long step. The question that I can clear that better, there's no question: I was a bit lucky there." Eintracht, on the other hand, were unlucky and were denied a "clear penalty" when they fouled Lindström, as Schlotterbeck also pointed out.

The national player also took a position on the goal. "I'm annoyed that I didn't manage the block there," said Schlotterbeck. In addition, he also covered Gregor Kobel's view. However, the left foot is at most partly to blame for the Frankfurt compensation. On the one hand, Eintracht combined excellently through the Dortmund ranks, on the other hand Jude Bellingham should have been more determined in the duel with SGE attacker Kolo Muani.

Since Schlotterbeck shot an even worse buck in the second half than before the Adeyemi scene and lost the ball to Lindström in the sixteenth minute (Kobel prevented it 2-2), he focused on his own performance. "I have to stop the mistakes," he emphasized.
