Atlanta (dpa-AfX)-Highlight match against Real Madrid and renewed money blessing for Borussia Dortmund (BVB (Borussia Dortmund))): BVB is in the quarter-finals of the club World Cup. For this, the team of coach Niko Kovac had to suffer a lot in the second half at the hard -won 2-1 (2: 0) against CF Monterrey. “I am proud of the boys and the boys can be proud of themselves,” said Kovac after the round of 16 against the Mexicans.
With his double pack in the 14th and 24th minute, goal-getter Serhou Guirassy ensured the victory in the strong first half and a further $ 13.125 million, which flow through the quarter-finals to the BVB account. After the break, in which Monterrey all over the defense idol Sergio Ramos threw everything forward and put Dortmund under pressure, only German Berterame (48th) hit the Mexicans.
This increases the sum of the FIFA premiums for BVB at the tournament in the USA to over $ 50 million. “The situation is of course good for the club as a whole,” said sports director Sebastian Kehl, who is now pleased with the quarter -finals on Saturday evening (10:00 p.m. MESZ/SAT.1 and DAZN) in East Rutherford at New York against Real and coach Xabi Alonso, which is of course a very special match for us. These have always been big games against Real. “
No brother duel against Real: Bellingham didn’t know anything about lock
In the game, however, Jobe Bellingham must not participate. The English newcomer saw Monterrey an unnecessary yellow card after just under half an hour – it was his second in the tournament. He is blocked against Real and misses the duel with brother Jew, the former BVB professional.
“This is very, very bitter for him. He was very much looking forward to playing against his brother,” said Kehl. “This is very sad. The situation is certainly very annoying. For him, for all of us. That was actually the story we all wanted to write.”
Apparently Jobe Bellingham was not sufficiently informed about the rule that he had to watch a game in the tournament after his second yellow card. “He didn’t know it at all and was very surprised when he heard it,” said Kovac, who, according to his own statement, had to inform the 19-year-old during the half-time break.
Best Dortmund half in the tournament
Before the break, the Dortmunders in front of almost 32,000 mostly Mexican spectators showed their best performance in the tournament. “We could have scored one or two more goals,” criticized goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, who secured his team the victory after the change of sides.
“He kept us alive,” said Kehl and Kovac, said: “With his charisma, he affects the boys.” Because after the early goal, they seemed increasingly nervous in the second half. The Mexican striker Berterame, born in Argentina, took advantage of Dortmund uncertainty in the defense shortly after the change.
“After that, of course, the game can still tip over,” said Kobel, especially since the Mexican audience was suddenly back. “But we defended it very well then. It was a very good performance and is very high.”/Lap/dp/e.g.
