In the league, BVB consolidates second place in the table. But away from the games, young star Jadon Sancho keeps making headlines because he breaks corona rules. Now there was a ruffle from the teammate.
National player Emre Can reprimanded his Dortmund team-mate Jadon Sancho after his hairdressing mistake – but also took him under protection. “He just has to be smarter, grow up, grow up with things like that. He can’t afford to make mistakes like that in the future, we as a team are also responsible,” said Can after the 1-0 (0-0) work victory of BVB against Hertha BSC on Saturday night at Sky. Read the match report here. However, he does not think that the 20-year-old Englishman “does that extra, maybe he is sometimes not aware of it. Maybe he trusts other people in some things. He has to learn that in the future.”
Sancho and Manuel Akanji (24) had a star hairdresser cut their hair at home during the week and thereby violated the strict corona regulations. The German Football League imposed a fine, Sancho showed little insight with a tweet. BVB coach Lucien Favre ordered both against Berlin in the starting XI. “You have to lead Jadon a bit. Despite the things he does sometimes, he’s a great boy, even out of the field,” said Can.
The 26-year-old then pleaded for Favre to remain in Dortmund. “He is a great coach, 100 percent. Sometimes people complain and talk about the coach, which I personally cannot understand,” said Can. “If you see the points in the second half of the season, we have always scored except for two games. He is a great coach who fits 100 percent with BVB and I hope that I can work with him here for several years.” Favre praised his midfielder, who played in defense on Saturday, as one of the “leaders who say you have to do it either way. That is necessary.”
