He has long been king in Stuttgart and is still a joker in the national team. No matter in which role Dennis and AF score, with 18 goals he is the best German striker in the Bundesliga, currently with six goals in six games. A series that is unmatched this season and can still be expanded.
Always keep going. We still have a few games left and I have to try to score more goals.
And now it’s matchday 28 against his favorite opponent Borussia Dortmund. Because he started his furious goal hunt against the Black and Yellows in the first leg. AV stabs the BVB heart three times. With this hat trick, the striker saved VfB a point in stoppage time. He is also in the national team and from then on when he is needed, even if he is not satisfied with his role as a joker.
I know what kind of role I have here and I try to accept the role and step on the gas. And as I said, with every substitution I make, my role can hopefully change. At least I hope so.
Now against Borussia Dortmund, he can shoot himself back into the spotlight with the aim of finally being king at all levels.
