Later in the evening, has brought Borussia Dortmund in Berlin, then still a bloody nose. That was just before half past nine, the referee had just blown for the last Time in his pipe and Lucien Favre, listed a dance of joy, he immediately broke off when he saw that he was directly in front of the Bank of Hertha BSC.

the Dortmund coach with Berlin’s past, did not want to Provoke the the late 3:2 victory. Just a little celebration. So they stopped it a few meters further on the Dortmund bench, where Favre’s assistant Edin Terzic jumped up, elbows export, and the gentlemen of the press spokesman in the face met. In the midst of the Twelve.

It was no longer the sweet pain of the hard-fought victory, you can enjoy the ballspielverein Borussia 09 all the more intense, since things go so easily from the foot as in the last months of last year. A beautiful autumn long-BVB stormed in a frenzy by the League. In the year 2019, the victories and not tumble all by itself, the artists must suffer and toil.

Marco Reus, scorer of the late winning goal, told in front of the television camera of the Sky, it was him and the other players very well aware that “it’s not about at the moment so fleet-footed in the first half of the season. Currently we work on, the chances are very, very hard.“ The cost of power, but the reward is the effort worth it, because “a victory in the 92. Minute gives the team a scary Push“.

The national player of Reus is ideal-typical for this Borussia, for the troubles in the level of the everyday, at the end, you are still brilliant moments. A whole game long there was little to see of the brilliance of the Dortmund captain. The constant start-up against the Berlin three chain from Jordan Torunarigha, Niklas Stark and Karim Rekik was meritorious, gave him but little sparkle in this glittering game.

Hardly once he came to runs, his Pace, stand for 90 minutes in the shadow of the grandiose left Jadon Sancho and Christian Pulisic on the other wing. Until the injury time Dribbling against Valentino Lazaro, the Pass with the outside of his right boot came, Sancho’s in the middle, where Reus extended the Ball with the right foot so sent to the right corner, in the way that only a very few. In emergence and completing a great goal.

“Why should we not try everything now?”

It was Favre, the beautiful end to a busy and exciting Evening for Lucien. The football philosopher from Switzerland has arranged long ago that he can barely muster his best team. On Saturday the man was missing in addition to the absent defender Lukasz Piszczek in the front line, where usually Paco Alcacer and Mario Götze alternate.

In Berlin, they had to fit out due to Injury, as well as the midfield chef Axel Witsel, whose representative Julian Weigl has, by far, the strategic skill of the Belgian national player. And yet, the BVB laid against a formidable Berlin-based team in a stunning second half. “That was really very good, so the victory goes fine,” said Favre.
