SecondThe long “Eeeerling Haaaland” chant that filled the Westfalen Stadium in the middle of the second half sounded like a religious intoxication. The incredible striker just scored 5:1 in the BVB vs. Frankfurt game, so he finally made it clear that he must be cheered again as a great football hero. In the end Dortmund won 5-2 (3-1), which was his second goal of the game.
Seeing the well-known superb skills of the football player, critics can now ask: “There are only two goals, less than half?” But in addition to his own goals, Haaland also prepared three other goals. It will never be controlled for the poor Frankfurters. He has now scored 62 goals in 61 competitive matches. “You always have to be careful not to evaluate him too high,” said Captain Marco Royce, but “this is a great package.”
Those who pay tribute to them are not only inspired by Harland’s strength, they are also intoxicated by themselves. For the first time since the pandemic began, there has been a real tension in the Bundesliga’s largest stadium. Marco Rose said: “You can’t do more. There is a lot of energy in the stadium, and the people on the court make the most of that energy.”
Harlan, Harlan, Harlan
Everyone can see that the new coach has formed a team. After these first impressions, you can actually believe that there are many things that can be done in the next few months: BVB is talented, very mature, and may be the current league. The most dominant player must provide. Because Robert Lewandowski is also great, but Harland in this state may not be too dependent on his teammates.
The 21-year-old Norwegian ran energeticly from his own half to the Frankfurt penalty area, starting 1-0, where he mentioned Marco Reus, who can be called the new season of Dortmund Bundesliga (23rd Bit) the first shooter. He later scored 2-0 (32nd) and Giovanni Reyna’s 4-1 (58th) with a shot attempt by Harland. After the final whistle, it is not entirely clear whether this action is counted as an assist. In any case, “Erlin is an incredible team player, he runs for the team,” Rose scored 3:1 (34th) and 5:1 (70th) in Haaland himself. Said later. At the same time, Felix Passlack, who was a good one, made an own goal and changed the score to 1:1. In the end, Jens Petter Hauge turned the score to 5:2 (86th).
However, these five goals conceal some weaknesses, and Royce does not want to ignore them in the cheers after the final whistle. “As you saw today, we are still a long way from where we want,” the captain said. When teams try to establish the game in a controlled way from their own penalty zone and push the ball through the midfield with a draw pass, the team often fails. New goalkeeper Gregor Kobel can still improve his footwork, but full-backs Paslak and Nico Schultz sometimes lack the idea to start more skillfully under pressure.
Time and time again, Dortmund was forced to pass a long pass, especially in the first half, which led to a fierce midfield duel, but it was more conducive to the atmosphere. When the game came to a close and it became clear that Dortmund would win, the stadium was finally bathed in sweet happiness and the cheers of Harland. Even if you do not completely occupy the South Stand, you can feel the magic of the ancient BVB again. Fans dig into their songs, they enjoy the almost forgotten interaction with their team, and they like to absorb the impulse from the stands.
There is a short period when the game could have turned. A few minutes after halftime, there was carelessness in Dortmund’s game, which reminded me of the fickleness that Rose should eventually be kicked out of the team. Rafael Borré had two good chances to return Eintracht to the game (48th and 55th) but did not score. Therefore, Royce pointed out that it is too early to “declare war.” Rose said: “The important thing is that our captain is here to remind us to stay the same.”
The coach noticed how strong his desire for the special energy of this club was, and his close friend Jurgen Klopp kept telling him. Now he says here: “I am very happy”. Because the experience value of this game is high and it is very athletic, the start of the season couldn’t be better.
