DORTMUND (dpa-AFX) – two goals Erling Haaland, three assists Giovanni Reyna – at Borussia Dortmund (BVB (Borussia Dortmund)) the talents go ahead. With youthful power, the Revierclub beat SC Freiburg 4-0 (1-0) and thus avoided the imminent false start of the season after two defeats in Augsburg (0-2) and in the Bayern Super Cup (2-3) . Haaland dryly commented on his impressive 17-goal streak in just 18 league games in Sky’s first television interview, as always: “That’s not bad. But it could have been more.”
As icy as in front of the microphone, the 20-year-old attacker appeared in front of the Freiburg Gate. After a tough first 30 minutes, he broke the spell and returned his team to lightness with a low shot placed (31) in the far corner to make it 1-0. “I was restless in the stadium. But after the first goal, Dortmund had the advantage,” complained SC coach Christian Streich, “this goal made us uneasy.”
Suddenly, the BVB offensive, which had been cautious until then, got under way. Haaland in particular benefited from this, as he was becoming more self-confident by the minute. “He’s a bastard in front of the goal,” commented Freiburg’s Christian Günter at the upcoming Haaland show in Dortmund. BVB captain Marco Reus was also full of praise: “He plays while he trains. He will always score, no matter how good he is at the game or not.”
Haaland is not by far the only young professional who should make BVB very happy in the future. Reyna, three years younger, also made coach Lucien Favre’s heart beat faster. The midfielder prepared both the goals of Haaland (minute 31/66) and the intermittent 2-0 of Emre Can (47) and was replaced in the 80th minute by the 11,500 fans at the Dortmund stadium, which despite the corona pandemic ongoing were part of the celebrations.
Favre was reluctant to praise one of his favorites: “You have to keep working, be ambitious. You have to be careful with a 17-year-old and not burn him.” The Swiss soccer teacher said he wanted to take it easy on Reyna in the future: “We have enough opportunities to rotate on offense.
It fits into the picture of the young Borussia that with the 22-year-old Felix Passlack another young professional found himself 4-0 (90 + 2).
This was the 100th loss for the Freiburg Streich manager in his 292nd game as Bundesliga manager. Also, he has never won against BVB until now. “It was clear that Dortmund would be very focused after the Super Cup defeat. We just weren’t good enough to achieve anything here today,” said Streich./bue/DP/zb
