Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund shines with a three-pack in Paderborn

What’s wrong with Jadon Sancho? Asked this question SPORT1 during the week. The so far outstanding Englishman was struck and thus unfit from the Corona break and disappointed especially in the title final against Bayern (0: 1).

In the 6-1 win in Paderborn, the Sancho node burst!

If the wing racer was often bogged down in its dribbling in the first half, the 20-year-old presented himself again in top form after the break. Sancho scored first to 2-0 (and when he cheered, he recalled the African American George Floyd / “Justice for George Floyd”), then to 3-0 and finally to the final score.

“We did a good job,” said coach Lucien Favre after the game Sky. During the break, he told his team that they had pressed well, “the other team will not be able to keep up the pace until the end”. The Swiss should be right. Thanks to the tremendous pace of dribble artist Sancho, Paderborn finally broke in.

Sancho scores first three-pack

In Paderborn, Sancho achieved his first professional triple pack ever. But that’s not all: Sancho is the youngest Bundesliga player of all time to hit the 30-goal mark. The striker needed 73 league games for his first 30 goals and 38 assists.

This season, the BVB star has already scored 17 goals and 17 assists – which means that he also shot himself to the top of the Bundesliga scorers list – ahead of Bayern star Robert Lewandowski (33) and Leipzig striker Timo Werner (32 ). In the European top 5 leagues, Sancho is now the first player to have more than 15 goals and 15 assists each.

By the way: In the international scorer list, only team-mate Erling Haaland (26 goals and 9 assists for Dortmund and RB Salzburg) is ahead of Sancho. The former BVB professional Ciro Immobile from Lazio has 27 goals and 7 assists and is therefore on par with the Englishman.

The 1.80-meter-tall Sancho came from Manchester City for around 8 million euros in 2017 and signed a contract in Dortmund until 2022.

Where is Sancho’s future?

In summer, however, he could leave the district club prematurely.

To SPORT1-Information, Sancho continues to see its home market, is moving to England – either this summer or next summer. Manchester United and Chelsea FC absolutely want the top attacker.

The crux of the matter is the transfer fee. BVB is demanding at least 130 million euros – hardly imaginable that a club would pay this sum, especially during the Corona crisis.
