Edin Terzic shook the ball into the goal on his sideline.

When Marco Reus took the penalty in Bremen, the new BVB coach bobbed his upper body and took two nervous steps.

When Borussia Dortmund's captain then pushed the ball over the line in the margin, Terzic clenched his hands into fists and then clapped the substitutes.

It was the decisive goal for the 2-1 final result - after three games without a win, BVB has won another game.

Two days after Lucien Favre was sacked, Terzic made a successful Bundesliga debut.

“Partly it was football that I imagine.

The important thing is that we as a team showed a reaction after Saturday's game.

I am very proud of that.

I thought it was very good and I'm proud that we gave everything from start to finish, ”said Terzic at Sky.

The 1: 5 against VfB Stuttgart was still noticeable in the bones of the players.

The BVB professionals lacked the ease with which they had won five of the first six games at the beginning of the season.

Bringing them back is Terzic's most important task in the coming weeks: “Saturday's game is still deep for the boys.

The important thing is that we defended the win well.

Everyone was excited from the start, also from the outside.

We are a unit, you have to see that.

We showed a reaction as a team, we need a little more time. "

Unlike his predecessor, who had mostly stoically followed the games, Terzic actively coached.

The 38-year-old repeatedly intervened verbally and often praised his players for successful actions.

The 38-year-old seems to have carried away the team.

“Big compliments to Edin Terzic for how he has mastered all of this in the last two or three days,” said Marco Reus.

Just one change in BVB's starting line-up

Although Terzic only made one change in the starting line-up (Youssoufa Mokoko for Emre Can), a lot has changed compared to the last games under Favre at BVB: “First and foremost, we played in a different basic formation.

It is normal that the processes are not yet right.

There was a belief that we would be a good team if we did everything together, defensively and offensively.

Unlike Favre, Terzic brought Moukoko into the starting line-up and put his trust in the 16-year-old.

The striker had a few good scenes and narrowly missed his first Bundesliga goal with two good chances.

Terzic curbed the expectations of the great talent: "We mustn't put our offensive strength completely in the hands of a 16-year-old."
