The Bundesliga rivals BVB and Borussia Mönchengladbach have agreed to a transfer by the US national player Giovanni Reyna, according to agreed media reports.
The 22-year-old midfielder should switch from Dortmund to Gladbach for a single-digit million revenue. The Italian first division club FC Parma had also tried to commit Reyna.
BVB playful victory at St. Pauli late
Confetti flew from the ranks of the raging stadium, while the Dortmund players were looking for explanations for the late playful opening victory at FC St. Pauli. “In the end, of course, the crux of the matter was the penalty,” complained soccer player Julian Brandt at Sky after the 3: 3 (1-0) at FC St. Pauli, which felt like a defeat for the BVB-Tross. “In the end, of course, we let ourselves be bought a bit.”
The Dortmunders had led 3: 1 up to the 86th minute. Then Filippo Mané received the red card after holding abdoulie ceaesay in the penalty area after the video referee intervened. Danel Sinani (86th) put the due penalty to 2: 3 on the net, Eric Smith (89th) even equalized.
Brandt also struggled with the red card because BVB had already received six references in the previous season. “Apparently, at least today, we took this into the first matchday and that just hurts in the long run,” he said.
“He definitely keeps him too long”
“He definitely lasts him for too long,” said BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to the penalty scene, “brings him a bit out of balance”. The 27-year-old acquaintance: “In any case, we make it harder than we have to.” The start of the new Bundesliga season is “certainly not as we imagine”.
One thing is certain: The impressive opening victory eating is a thing of the past: On the first day of the 2014, BVB had received a defeat against Bayer 04 Leverkusen under the then coach Jürgen Klopp and since then decided every game on the first match day. This series has now ended.
Guirassy puts BVB in the lead
The heavily laid out attacker Guirassy (34th minute) made 29,546 spectators in the sold-out Millerntor Stadium for the deserved guidance of the guests. Defense player Waldemar Anton (67th) and Brandt (74.) brought BVB back to the road to success after the interim compensation by Andréas Hountondji (50th). The turbulent final phase followed.
Entertaining evening game
All around the stadium, the BVB-Tross and fans had to train through the hustle and bustle of the fun fair in the Sommerdom next to the Millerntor Stadium. On the square, the game in the further course was also like a dazzling hustle and bustle with high entertainment value.
BVB coach Niko Kovac did not want to attach too much importance to the game anyway. “I do not evaluate a start after the first Bundesliga game day, but after six games- three home and three away games. Then you can say roughly where to stand and what you can still expect,” he said before the game.
St. Pauli’s newcomer and later goal scorer Houtondji were in the spotlight when the borrowed attacker from Benin ran towards the goal alone after a positional defect by central defender Anton, but failed on the well -placed goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.
A little later, the focus was on Kobel’s goalkeeper controversy: First Nikola Vasilj Stark parried the shot (23rd) of Guirassy, then he prevented the goal by Pascal Groß from a short distance (25th).
In the further course, Guirassy did better and hit the lead after a cross from Marcel Sabitzer. The well-placed attacker, who had already made it possible for the BVB to get the progress in the first round of the DFB Cup at Rot-Weiss (1-0), but failed almost five minutes before the half-time whistle on goalkeeper Vasilj. Eric Smith had brought Karim Adeyemi down.
St. Pauli compensates – the BVB comes back
After the break, the hosts came back from the cabin furiously. At his Bundesliga premiere, Houtondji made the equalization. The 1.90 meter tall attacker put the pass from Sinani in the goal.
Defense player Anton dampened the euphoria of the fans of the neighborhood club after he got the ball in the penalty area after the fine pass from Felix Nmecha and his deflected shot again cheered the BVB fans. And they were allowed to celebrate again: the Brandt, which also substituted, also substitute, increased for BVB after fine ball acceptance.
Then the guests had to tremble again when referee Matthias Jöllenbeck decided on the penalty and red for Mané after VAR intervention. Sinani safely converted – and the hosts shocked BVB again by Smith’s spacer shot. 3: 3 – the stadium danced.
BVB reacts to alleged catacombs
Borussia Dortmund reacted to an alleged incident after the final kick after the disappointing Bundesliga kick-off at St. Pauli. “Bild” and Sky had unanimously reported that after the 3: 3 in Hamburg in the catacombs of the stadium, there was said to have been a discussion between Mark Bellingham, the father and consultant from newcomer Jobe Bellingham, and BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl.
“We are all disappointed about the result yesterday. And yet the active area is and remains reserved for players, coaches and those responsible, not families and consultants. There will be no time. We have clearly informed everyone involved,” said Kehl.
Emotional discussion between father and throat
According to the media reports, Bellingham’s parents from England are said to have received access to an area before the BVB cabin after the game of security forces. According to Sky, there is said to have been a “longer and emotional discussion” between Kehl and Bellingham’s father there. It was about the stonent and unreal style of the Dortmund at the Millerntor and the early replacement of his son.
Jobe Bellingham switched from AFC Sunderland to BVB for around 30 million euros before the season. The 19-year-old midfielder had already played the club World Cup for the black and yellow in the USA and was used as a joker in the 1-0 win in the first cup round at Rot-Weiss. His three-year-old brother Jew matured from 2020 to 2023 at the district club to the football world star and then switched to Real Madrid.
