Necessity is the mother of invention….
The serious illness of Dortmund’s king transfer Sébastien Haller (28 / testicular tumor) has further sporting consequences for Borussia.
Because there is no coal for Haller’s replacement – Terzic is rebuilding the BVB system!
Pretty high: Donyell Malen dodges a sliding tackle from his opponent from Villarreal
In the past, the favorite formation of Rose successor Edin Terzic (39) was mostly 4-2-3-1. Means: back four, two defensive and one central midfielder, two wingers and a classic center forward.
But in the cup cracker at third division team 1860 Munich (Friday, 8.45 p.m. / ZDF live) Terzic is forced to improvise. His idea: TWO strikers should replace ONE Haller. In the last test against Villarreal (0:2), the German international was allowed Karim Adeyemi (20) and the Dutchman Donyell Malen (23) for the first time together at the front. Both have extreme speed and also know where the goal is.
U21 national player Youssoufa Moukoko (18) made an impression in the pre-season, but will probably sit on the bench as a joker for the time being.
Two strikers – a model that could set a precedent. Because internally, those responsible for BVB do not expect Haller to be back on the pitch soon after his operation. And the necessary coal for an adequate replacement is missing.
Zorc successor Sebastian Kehl (42) is still exploring the market. But in the “good and cheap” category, the right alternative is difficult to find.
All the more important that Ade-yemi and Malen complement each other well at the top and stimulate the BVB offensive…
