Dortmund's Schlotterbeck Denies Clash with Captain Can
Nico Schlotterbeck has dismissed reports of a confrontation with Borussia Dortmund captain Emre Can, emphasizing mutual respect and team unity.
In the wake of Borussia Dortmund’s recent loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, rumors emerged about a potential on-field disagreement between defender Nico Schlotterbeck and team captain Emre Can. According to reports, the alleged altercation took place as Can urged the team to acknowledge their traveling supporters, while Schlotterbeck appeared reluctant, leading to a brief exchange between the two players.
Addressing the reports, Schlotterbeck was quick to refute the claims, describing the situation as a misunderstanding. 'The atmosphere after the match was intense, as it always is when results don’t go our way,' Schlotterbeck explained. 'Emre suggested that we go to our supporters, and we did so together. There was no altercation, no issues between us.'
Schlotterbeck also expressed his respect for Can, stating, 'Emre is our captain, and I hold him in high regard. We share the same goal of supporting the team and pushing through difficult times.'
The clarification comes as Dortmund faces mounting pressure to improve results following a series of inconsistent performances. Speculation about the future of head coach Nuri Sahin has intensified, with some reports suggesting his position is under review. Despite the challenges, both Schlotterbeck and Can are expected to play crucial roles in stabilizing the team and ensuring cohesion during this challenging period.
Unity within the squad will be vital as Dortmund prepares for its upcoming fixtures in the Bundesliga. With Schlotterbeck and Can emphasizing their mutual respect and professionalism, the club hopes to focus on reclaiming form and delivering better results in the weeks ahead.
