Borussia Dortmund is back with a clear victory against Bayer Leverkusen. The reverse at newly promoted Union Berlin had, however, led to more uncertainty, as all Parties wanted to admit.
As Julian Brandt strolled to his replacement in front of the guests curve along, to go to the bench, he had to listen to some of the invective of the Leverkusen supporters. The 23-Year-old, was only changed to the beginning of the season, the werkself to Borussia Dortmund, turned the Bayer Fans demonstratively the back and thanked him instead for the friendly Clapping of the black-and-yellow pendants.
As Brandt left the place, led the BVB goals from Paco Alcacer (28.) and Marco Reus (50.) already with 2:0. At the end of a 4:0 it lit up on the stadium display even. Raphael Guerreiro (83.) and once again, Reus (90.) provided further hits.
Correct Response
“That was the first Time to play against the former Fans, so it was definitely a new feeling,” said Brandt then. “It was fun anyway, even if we in the 1. Half are gone, especially after this.” But since the Leverkusen goal remained in front of the BVB to be harmless, could turn Dortmund the game, because they made it better than the opponent. “Today we have used our chances, which we had missed in Berlin,” said Brandt. “This was exactly the correct response to the last two weeks”
After the victory against the old mate Julian Brandt (2, celebrates.v.r.) the success with the new players
Dortmunder had in the countries break the game suffered apparently more than she wanted to admit. The for all Involved, very surprising 1:3 in the case of newly promoted Union Berlin, had left traces in the self-understanding of the BVB. Sporting Director Michael Zorc, and the ever-cautious coach Lucien Favre rushed in the past few days, therefore, to report that there is no dissent between them. Tenor: “We want to continue to be master.” Just not a home-made dispute over the objectives of the club, which could lead to further irritation in the BVB family.
Fight Strong Delaney
As a self-proclaimed championship candidate of the BVB seemed to be the beginning of the game, however. Downright scared the Dortmunder pulled back and shied away from the risk against the playful superior Leverkusen. “This was not planned,” admitted Favre later. Only around 35% possession of the ball for Dortmund not correspond to the own claim. Only after a good 25 minutes BVB took off his Timidity and showed a remarkable Counter-attacking for an unchallenged victory.

“We were very patient when we had to defend. We have done well, because that was very important in this game. The team remained calm”, said Favre in a decidedly sober. In a state of emotional other condition midfielder Thomas Delaney presented itself, however, as the success was perfect. “We were super effective, and we have defended great. This was not against Berlin well enough,” said the Dane, held together with Axel Witsel in the defensive midfield the strings, and was delighted with the reaction of the followers. “You can tell in the stadium that the Fans were very happy. It was really cool to play here.”
Key players Havertz without spaces
In particular, it was succeeded Delaney with his relentless two combat readiness, to take Leverkusen’s key players, Kai Havertz of the joy of the game, and to curtail the creativity of the work-self is crucial. That Havertz was carried to a few minutes before the final whistle, a frustration foul on Jadon Sancho, fit for his unmotivated game. Only in this scene, the 20-Year-old the necessary body tension and determination.
The Dortmund-based (Self-) should doubts be gone first. BVB got rid of the self-made problems and can prepare without any further noise on the following tasks and have it all: On Tuesday, Favre’s Team is expected to be in the Champions League, FC Barcelona, on Sunday you have to play in the Bundesliga then in the Frankfurt Eintracht. Both games offer good opportunities to the newly established self-confidence further.
