BVB secured three points in the last competitive game of the year by winning the Borussia duel 2-0 on Friday evening – so the mood in Dortmund was great? Not necessarily, because Karim Adeyemi (23) caused a lot of excitement during the game.
After around 60 minutes and quite heated duels with opponent Kevin Diks (29), head coach Niko Kovac took the winger off the field, who reacted to the substitution with anything but enthusiasm. As the visibly frustrated Adeyemi marches towards the dressing room, Sebastian Kehl summons him to the substitution bench.
After the game, the sports director announced the consequences on the ‘Sky’ microphone: “His substitution was completely justified. He didn’t play well. He’ll get a fine for it. We’ll have to talk about it. I don’t want to see the reaction, not the coach, not the team.”
Is Silva staying?
In addition, Kehl once again spoke about the situation of summer signing Fábio Silva (23). After the 45-year-old official had already ruled out a sudden departure at the beginning of December, it was recently said that the striker was about to go on loan to Betis Sevilla. But now Kehl doesn’t want to know anything about it.
“Fabio will stay”emphasized Kehl, “I don’t feel like giving it away. Why should we do that?” In principle, the former midfielder did not want to rule out winter transfers: “Maybe it will be the beginning of January, but there will be one or two squad movements – nothing crazy. Let’s see what happens next. I’m already in discussions.”
