Kicker did a big Bobic interview:
-he already felt they were done with signings before lunch
-apologizes for the loading bar
-
"We let go players, of whom everyone said, that maybe they don't wear the shirt, like they should be."
-"Their names [of his signings] may not be well known, but they had well known names here for the last two years."
-"We are not a club that is is cash-strapped, nor one which is rich. [Being] Rich is something we once had".
-Missing out on Castillejo was just typical deadline day madness, where too many things have to be sorted in, too little time.
-They let Dilrosun go, even after Castillejo fell through, because he was desperate to leave and had his head somewhere else.
-Lukebakio was desperate to leave as well and for a long time, so they loaned him to Wolfsburg, to give him a platform.
-Big changes need big time in the big city.
-He scolds Dardai for telling the press "I'm not glued to my seat, I'm just helping out at the moment", says he clearly addressed the issue internally as well. Says not everything is perfectly fine, but fine enough to keep going forward without looking back.
-Further talks about Dardai reacting to emotional.
-Further talks about how Dardai needs to be less emotional.
-Further talks about how Dardai showed weakness and needs to be less emotional.
-Talks about how Dardai is happy with the squad now.
-Talks about how Dardai shouldn't look towards the past, but towards the future.
-Expects better Gegenpressing, more esprit, more unoredictability, more flexibility and
-Says he rather would have kept Boateng out of the Wolfsburg game, because he had back pain.
-Some stuff about the squad in general: Ekkelenkamp needs time, Boateng and Jovetic are old, but still can play 90 minutes, but maybe they won't, which would also be fine.

I'm not really used to a (quasi) DoF speaking so freely, especially about his coach. Usually they just pretend everything is fine or they have seen some good moments, but need to convert them into points, soon. But not nearly this detail.
