55 goals, 15 of them in the last three games, all of which were won. At BVB, the Meister engine has been buzzing since the start of the second half of the season – and Erling Haaland (19) is the fuel!
After three goals in Augsburg (5: 3) and two against Cologne (5: 1), the Norwegian also scores 5: 0 against Union (18./.76.), Pulls out the Reus penalty (67.). He is now the first Bundesliga player to score seven times in his first three games.
Manager Michael Zorc: “You can’t imagine that better. Erling does it excellently. His job is to score and you can see that with every fiber in his body. Exceptional, he should go on like this! “
Julian Brandt: “He integrates himself, he has a great swing!”
Haaland’s brilliant record: It took him 77 minutes to record the first six Bundesliga goals. The previous record was held by ex-Dortmund Alcácer (went to Villarreal) with six goals in 81 minutes. He was the first Bundesliga player to score seven goals in his first three games. It takes an average of 19.43 minutes per goal. And: He (maybe) can do even more.
Haaland, who was in the starting XI against Union for the first time: “I’m not yet at 100 percent. I have to get fitter, but that comes from game to game. “
Dortmund starts the master engine!
Sebastian Kehl, head of the license player department: “We know that even tougher opponents are coming. But I think something is still possible! “
Brandt about the championship: “Everything is realistic, we do our best. Let’s see what comes out in the end. “
One thing is clear: BVB have now scored five goals three times in a row, a longer series has not yet made a Bundesliga team. And: For the first time in seven years, BVB started the second half with three wins.
At that time, Jadon Sancho (19) was only 12 years old. Against Union he scored 1-0 (13th), prepared Witsels 4-0 (70th). He is now the first 19-year-old with 25 Bundesliga goals. BVB legend Karl-Heinz Riedle: “He has learned a lot and is an incredibly strong player.”
Trainer Lucien Favre: “Jadon has enormous potential to improve. But he’s already fantastic. “
In the Haaland frenzy there was also trouble: When Hakimi has to get out, he throws away a bottle of drinks with frustration, Reus pours a tape on the floor when he changes it. Kehl: “I will speak to Marco.”
