Borussia Dortmund cut a good figure at the season opener. It was not just the white BVB third jerseys and the emotional speech by the new coach Nuri Sahin that caused joy and euphoria, but also what the Dortmund professionals conjured up on the pitch against the English premier league team Aston Villa.
Dortmund presented themselves well structured both in defence and in attack and took a 2-0 lead in the first half with a double strike after just under half an hour. Captain Emre Can scored the first Dortmund goal from a penalty (33′) and just two minutes later Julian Brandt took advantage of a serious defensive error by Villas in the six-yard box and coolly chipped the ball past goalkeeper Martinez for Dortmund’s second goal.
BVB fans online also had a lot of fun at the friendly against Villa and were particularly pleased with the new signings Pascal Groß and Yan Couto. The two new Borussia players even gave rise to hopes of winning the title and impressed with their performance in the first half.
In the end, BVB not only convinced the fans in the stadium in front of a sold-out crowd, but also created a positive atmosphere online ahead of the upcoming start of the season. The result remained a 2-0 victory.
We will become champions, there is no way around it #BVBAVFC

#Large simply everywhere on the pitch. Closes all the gaps that are there and is playable. You can see more and more why they wanted him so badly. Impressive. #BVBAVFC

Pascal Groß’s influence on the balance and statics of our game is already tangible. https://t.co/bpoJzRHBWA— Florian (@chicagoflori) August 10, 2024
Pascal Groß will be the most underrated transfer of this summer. He is already the pacesetter/boss in midfield and also exudes an incredible calmness. And how nice it is to have a dynamic/strong/fast right-back in the squad again with Yan Couto.🌟 #BVBAVFC

Pascal Groß exudes the ball control and calmness that we have wanted from Can for years!
Couto is fun! 🖤💛— C. B. (@Baumann77) August 10, 2024
These quick body feints in the penalty area and strong crosses from Couto do so much to me you have no idea #BVBAVFC

In terms of playing skills, it’s already a completely different story than under Terzic! You can tell that a coach has a game plan and, above all, a game idea! #BVBAVFC

This is how Borussia is really fun and not just because the score is 2-0 #BVBAVFC

The Dortmund team also showed their composure in the second half and did not let the flow of the game break despite two substitutions. New signing Yan Couto and Karim Adeyemi left the pitch and made way for Ramy Bensebaini and Sebastian Haller.
Strong performance…

I am very impressed by this half. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. Play patiently and wait for the chance, when Villa has the ball they attack straight away. Great Anton Couto 3 full machines

The first half was so strong

It looks really cool today. I think we have around 90% possession. Awesome! #BVB #BVBAVFC

More of this! Great fun!
— Tom KD (@KLDZTM) August 10, 2024
By God, Nuri was right, he actually uses Adeyemi effectively. I won’t say anything against him anymore, I trust him 100% from today on. The man has more vision in his little toe than the coaches of the last 7 years.

That was a good performance today. #BVBAVFC
