The store closed from behind and hit twice to the front, couldn’t be better for a defender!
Mats Hummels led BVB to a 2-0 away win at Arminia Bielefeld. The good performance should not have escaped the national coach Joachim Löw. (SERVICE: The results of the Bundesliga).
In Bielefeld, Hummels put on another flawless performance. In the empty Schüco Arena it became clear once again that the BVB star is the black and yellow setter. “Come on men! More body tension!” Demanded Hummels in the grueling first round (SERVICE: Bundesliga table).
And in the case of contrary standards, as in the 69th minute, he gave the clear instruction of when the defense should intervene: “Wait, wait, wait, now!” He even gave winger Thorgan Hazard a left-running command: “Come on … now: Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!”

The player-coach Hummels now also a scorer
Hummels acts as a player-coach on the field. The 2014 world champion leads his fellow men, instructs, directs, motivates and praises. Of course, this is not new. But Hummels’ top scorer qualities are new.
The still extremely ambitious 31-year-old scored his second professional double at the Bielefelder Alm! There were hits 25 and 26 in game 337 of the Bundesliga.
For the first time in history, Hummels, who entered the derby’s top scorers list against Schalke (3: 0) last week, faced each other on two consecutive days.

Löw needs Hummels in the DFB team
One thing is clear: Löw just can’t beat this Hummels!
A year and a half ago, the national coach dodged the former Munich. A mistake, as it turned out in hindsight. Defense continues to be the biggest weak point of the national team.
There is currently no one in the DFB setting the standard for coverage. Someone is missing to hold the hand of the people next to him. Hummels can do that.

Of course, Hummels is no longer the fastest. By the way, I wasn’t before. He makes up for his positional play and experience a lot. Especially on a three-way chain, which Löw currently prefers, the problem of speed would hardly have consequences.
Hummels could, for example, play alongside the fast and strong duo Matthias Ginter and Niklas Süle.

Loew should jump on his shadow
The BVB bosses recently carried out a lobbying job. “Mats is still one of the best defenders in Germany and he always has the quality to play there,” said sporting director Michael Zorc.
And the chairman of the board, Hans-Joachim Watzke, believes that “Mats still has a good chance of playing the European Championship.” After all, he has been playing “at the highest level for a long time.”
Löw should jump into his shadow and lead Dortmund to MS in the summer. Then they would have at least one less problem in the DFB.
