Kobel hails Dortmund’s second-half performance after comeback win over Union

Gregor Kobel praised Borussia Dortmund’s second half performance after their comeback win over Union Berlin.

Trailing 2-1 at halftime against Union Berlin, Borussia Dortmund turned the game around after the break to win 4-2.

Speaking in the mixed zone after the game, Gregor Kobel praised Dortmund’s second half performance and his head coach Edin Terzic for making key tactical changes at the break.

“We played a super game in the second half and performed great. The coach rightly went for it in the changing rooms at half-time. Up until then, it wasn’t the best that we’ve played,” said the Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper, according to BVB.de.

“He switched to a back three at half-time so that we would have a numerical advantage in our build-up play. That worked very well with the centre-backs now wider. And then the stadium immediately played along and provided additional energy. The emotions in the stands gave us a push. That’s a big plus. In the international break, we can now regenerate and recover from one or two things.”

The result leaves Dortmund in second place ahead of the weekend’s remaining Bundesliga matches.
