“I’m really proud of him. He fought back with everything he had. “
BVB manager Michael Zorc (59) on Erling Haaland (21)
★★★
He messed with everyone!
At 3-2 in Frankfurt, the Dortmund star battled through the final minutes. First with Martin Hinteregger (29), then with Rafael Borré (26) and at the end with Timothy Chandler (31).
The Norwegian won eleven of 21 battles against the Hessians. He did not fight the most poisonous duels in the game.
THE ZOFF PROTOCOL!
► 8:16 p.m .: Meunier crosses, Bellingham header – 2-2 (87th)! Haaland wants to get the ball out of the gate quickly, Hinteregger pushes the striker into the net.
He doesn’t let that sit on him, insults the Ösi in English: “F … ing idiot!” (German: “Damn idiot!”)
Hazard intervenes, referee Schröder (Hanover) shows the fighters yellow.
► 8:23 p.m .: After the 3-2 for Dortmund Haaland wants to play for time, runs to the corner flag. Frankfurt’s Borré chases him, hacking him three times in the legs until the Norwegian goes down (90th + 3). Immediately he stands up in front of the Colombian with his almost two meters, yells several times in Spanish: “Que pasa, hermano ?!” (German: “What is going on, brother ?!”). He hits his chest and grabs his crotch.
Motto: Come here if you want something …
Referee Schröder intervenes vigorously.
► 8:25 p.m .: Corner of Dortmund (90th + 5). Hazard and Haaland are taking their time. Chandler complains. Doesn’t interest the Norwegian who replies to the Frankfurter: “Don’t talk to me!” (German: “Don’t talk to me!”)
► 8:26 p.m .: Final whistle. Haaland (1.94 m, 88 kg) and Hinteregger (1.86 m, 82 kg) face each other forehead to forehead. The Norwegian passed out a few more “nice” words. Co-trainer Zickler intervenes.
Hinteregger to BILD: “Haaland is a top player who does everything for the success of his team. You shouldn’t put everything that is said out of the emotions on the pitch on the gold scales. Afterwards you shake hands and you’re good. “
