After the comeback suffered by his Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League against Real Madrid (5-2), Nuri Sahin was full of praise for Vinicius Junior. The BVB coach saw him score a hat-trick for his team on Tuesday evening.
Real Madrid was able to count on a great Vinicius Junior to overthrow Borussia Dortmund (5-2). The Merengue saw their Brazilian striker score a hat-trick, with two crazy goals. After the final whistle, Nuri Sahin was asked about the quality of the Brazilian international, particularly this Tuesday evening. The BVB coach remained sober but complimentary of his rival.
“It’s not the right time for me to talk about the opposing players. It’s obvious that Vinicius is one of the best players in the world, one of the three or five best I think. It’s not about me to decide or vote on the next Ballon D’Or I wish him the best, he is a fantastic player to watch. I have to stay focused on my players today. I wish him the best and to stay healthy. , analyzed Sahin in comments reported by BeIN Sports.
Sahin is at the heart of criticism following a change he made on the hour mark while his team was leading 0-2. One of their best offensive assets on the pitch, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, was replaced by a defender, Waldemar Anton. Three minutes later, the BVB had conceded two goals, completely loosening their grip on the opposing corridors. Thirty minutes later, his team had lost 5-2, conceding five goals after this change.
This choice is heavily criticized in Germany, especially since Sahin is already in the eye of the storm. Dortmund have already lost three times since the start of the season and are seventh in the Bundesliga. Management is already considering parting ways with him, three months after his appointment in place of Edin Terzic.
