Dortmund (dpa) – BVB coach Marco Rose has reacted calmly to the recent criticism from top striker Erling Haaland and is looking forward to a possible contract poker.
“I’m in contact with Erling every day and I also have a feeling for this player and this person. I know how long his contract is. I know what has to be decided and when,” said the coach of Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Dortmund. sports picture”.
“Everything is on the table internally, everyone is honest with each other”. That’s why he “doesn’t have to talk to him about it every day,” said the 45-year-old, emphasizing: “He’ll make a decision at some point and the club will prepare well for it. We all want him to stay sure.”
Courted Striker
Haaland, who was being courted by top international clubs, expressed his displeasure with the alleged demand from the club leadership in mid-January after BVB’s 5-1 win against Freiburg to clarify his future by March. Due to an exit clause, he can reportedly leave Borussia for 75 million euros this summer, despite a contract that runs until 2024.
“Erling is just 21 years old. He also has an emotional day, he goes home after training, is alone, maybe reads something, reads something else and then gets annoyed,” said Rose and said: “Everything bangs on him, and there are moments when the barrel is just full. That’s quite normal, that’s human.”
Hoping for Zwayer’s return
Rose hopes referee Felix Zwayer, who is currently on break, will return. After the excitement about his role in the top game between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich (2: 3) in December, the 40-year-old Berliner decided to take a break for the time being. He was severely attacked on social media after the game, and later he reported a death threat.
“Is it still normal that we have to talk about death threats in connection with sport?” said Rose, emphasizing: “I would like Felix Zwayer to whistle again – and wish him to make the right decision for himself. ” The “Kicker” recently reported that Zwayer had decided to continue his career.
