"I'm happy to be able to make decisions again" – Personnel situation improves ahead of Freiburg

Borussia Dortmund are about to play a home game in the 15:30 CET slot on a Saturday for the first time this season. SC Freiburg will be the visitors to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK on Bundesliga Matchday 11 (live on Sky). Prior to the meeting with the Breisgau outfit, coach Nuri Sahin shared some positive personnel news at the press conference.

In the weeks leading up to the international break, Sahin frequently needed a sheet of paper listing the injured players so as not to forget anyone. But around two weeks after the Black & Yellows' last competitive game, the personnel situation has improved considerably. "For the first time in a long time, I have more positive personnel news than negative. I'm very happy to be able to make decisions again. Beforehand, I had to count to 11 and then line them up," the coach said on Thursday. Both Gio Reyna and Julien Duranville as well as Waldemar Anton and Jamie Gittens are back. "I don't expect Gio and Juju to be at 100% immediately. But if they are in the squad, then they are ready to play," Sahin said. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel has already returned to action between the posts for Switzerland. Karim Adeyemi, Niklas Süle and Kjell Wätjen have also made progress and are already training on the pitch again, but won't be ready in time for the weekend. Captain Emre Can will miss out due to the red card he picked up in the match against Mainz.

With the coach having opted to give the internationals time off, the team will only come together again for the first time to prepare for the Freiburg game on Thursday. "That's when we'll also lay out a strategy – for the game against Freiburg first of all, but also where we want to get to by the winter break, both in terms of points and performances," explained Sahin, whose team is about to embark upon the final set of competitive games of the year with seven matches in the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League.

Freiburg's visit to Dortmund will mark the start of that run. BVB have won all of their matches at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK this season – five of which have been in the Bundesliga – and occupy first place in the home table. The Black & Yellows want to continue their streak against the Breisgau outfit. "I'm a fan of the way in which Freiburg play and the way this club has managed to stabilise itself for years. And Julian (editor's note: Schuster) is doing really well," said Sahin of the opposition and their new coach. "He has already known the club for a long time, inherited a lot from Christian Streich and has then brought in his own things too. It is a team that does everything for each other on the pitch. The table also shows that they're doing really good work."

Freiburg sit fifth in the table

Freiburg currently have one more point on the board than BVB and occupy fifth position in the table. The Breisgau outfit have won five and lost three of their 10 matches to date. Prior to the international break, Freiburg played out two goalless draws – at home to Mainz and away to Union Berlin.

BVB's head-to-head record against Freiburg is positive: the Black & Yellows have won the last five meetings, including their most recent home game against the men from the Breisgau by a 3-0 scoreline. BVB last suffered a home defeat at the hands of Freiburg 23 years ago.

However, after Duranville's strong preparatory work, the Austrian was leaning back as he let loose and fired his shot over the bar. Shortly before the break, Gittens crossed into the penalty area from the left, but Guirassy failed to connect cleanly. <\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/12/11/ucl-spielbericht/67_BVB_Barcelona1.jpg\" data-assetref=\"67_BVB_Barcelona1-1733950785306\"><\/p>\nBVB came out of the break with Couto on for Ryerson and briefly celebrated what looked like the opening goal through Guirassy in the 50th minute. However, Gittens, who had delivered the cross, and also Sabitzer were offside. Instead, it was the visitors who took the lead. Olmo drove forward from his own half, slipped a pass out left to Raphina, who was just onside. The Brazilian made no mistake and slotted the ball into the right-hand corner of the goal (52). <\/p>\nBut Dortmund came back quickly. Cubarsi shoved Guirassy in the penalty area and the referee, who had previously ruled against BVB in many scenes, pointed to the spot. Guirassy and Can swapped the ball twice, but the fouled player ultimately took responsibility and tucked the ball safely into the bottom left-hand corner (60'). Shortly afterwards, Guirassy had another sight of goal from 16 metres, but shot over the target (62).<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/12/11/ucl-spielbericht/66_Barxa.jpg\" data-assetref=\"66_Barxa-1733954673662\"><\/p>\nDown the other end, Kobel made a strong save to deny Olmo (69), and then also made a brilliant stop to keep out substitute Lopez's volley from Koundé's cross.

But Borussia did not give up. Guirassy headed a Gittens cross over the crossbar from five metres out (77) and then scored seconds later to make it 2-2. Couto had intercepted a ball from the visitors and played it forward to Gross. Barcelona goalkeeper Pena had come rushing out to intercept the ball, but Gross got their first and squared it to Guirassy, who slid the ball into the empty net from 17 metres out. Malen then had a chance to make it 3-2 in the 83rd minute, but failed to get the better of Pena.<\/p>\nInstead, it was Barca who were celebrating: Pena first cleared the ball out of the penalty area with his fists after a corner. Gross then played a misplaced pass. And so the Catalans were able to counter-attack. Yamal passed into the path of Torres in the six-yard box, who scored from an acute angle into the bottom left-hand corner of the goal (85).

But you also have to be honest and realise that, due to our age structure, we don't have the quality on the pitch this season that we've had in recent years," said Mike Tullberg in his summary of the match.<\/p>\nBarcelona set the footballing tone, while BVB countered with great commitment and a willingness to put in the hard yards. For the first hour, the game was largely even. It was only after the substitutions of young professionals Kjell Wätjen and Almugera Kabar, which had been agreed with head coach Nuri Sahin, that the Catalans gained the upper hand. With their fifth win in a row, they secured a place in the top six, which guarantees them home advantage in the next round.<\/p>\n"The game turned with the changes. Until then, we managed to keep the game open," analysed Mike Tullberg, who was able to call on Robin Lisewski again. The goalkeeper, who had been injured in the 0-0 draw in Zagreb, was immediately the centre of attention. In the 8th minute, he saved from Xavi Espar with his foot, and a little later he reacted brilliantly to deny striker Hernandez. Borussia, on the other hand, initially made limited progress in their endeavours to put their opponents under pressure in attack.<\/p>\nOusmane Diallo wasted the first counter-attacking chance after Tyler Meiser's pass to Samuele Inacio (26). Borussia's opening goal came slightly against the run of play. But Diallo took advantage of a lapse in concentration in Barcelona's defence and, after a clever pinpoint pass from Almugera Kabar, he fired the ball into the back of the net (41).<\/p>\n<h4>Tullberg: "We didn't defend well" <\/b><\/h4>\nThe game gained even more tempo and class in the second half. First, Jan Virgill finished off a spectacular solo run past Rashidi, Benkara and Albert to make it 1-1. BVB responded with a goal by Mussa Kaba after a corner kick by Nick Cherny to take a 2-1 lead (57).<\/p>\nBut it didn't last long. Barcelona's second equaliser was also due to personnel changes. After a corner from Virgill, Landry Farre, who had previously been lucky to avoid a second yellow card after a foul on Inacio, headed in after Elias Benkara had lost sight of him to equalise the score at 2-2.  Barcelona's winning goal through Leo Saca after Virgil's next corner (82) was the result of Dortmund's carelessness. "We put in a huge effort and did everything right 99% of the time. At the end of the day, football isn't just about possession, it's also about defending - and we didn't defend well from set-pieces," criticised Tullberg.<\/p>\nThe first half of the season is now over for Borussia's U19s.

BVB took the lead twice (Diallo (41), Kaba, (57)), but the visitors responded almost immediately with equalisers and scored the winner in the 82nd minute through Leo Saca, set up by the outstanding attacker Jan Virgili.<\/p>\n"We're happy that we've progressed with one of the youngest teams in this competition. But you also have to be honest and realise that, due to our age structure, we don't have the quality on the pitch this season that we've had in recent years," said Mike Tullberg in his summary of the match.<\/p>\nBarcelona set the footballing tone, while BVB countered with great commitment and a willingness to put in the hard yards. For the first hour, the game was largely even. It was only after the substitutions of young professionals Kjell Wätjen and Almugera Kabar, which had been agreed with head coach Nuri Sahin, that the Catalans gained the upper hand. With their fifth win in a row, they secured a place in the top six, which guarantees them home advantage in the next round.<\/p>\n"The game turned with the changes. Until then, we managed to keep the game open," analysed Mike Tullberg, who was able to call on Robin Lisewski again. The goalkeeper, who had been injured in the 0-0 draw in Zagreb, was immediately the centre of attention. In the 8th minute, he saved from Xavi Espar with his foot, and a little later he reacted brilliantly to deny striker Hernandez.
