A lot has happened at Borussia Dortmund during the week: with Erling Haaland, as expected, the top star of the past two years is going towards Manchester City. "We won't stop playing football just because Erling Haaland is leaving us," BVB coach Marco Rose said on Thursday at the matchday press conference for the last home game on Saturday (3:30 p.m., live! At City) against Hertha BSC. Departure of the Norwegian. "He decided to take his next step and we wish him good luck and all the best on his way. I hope we will see each other again." Haaland has scored an incredible 85 goals for BVB in 88 competitive games since his arrival in winter 2019/20.

Likewise, young national player Karim Adeyemi will join BVB in summer. "Karim brings us a lot of speed and more flexibility," said Rose, but at the same time warned of expecting too much from Adeyemi: "But he is a young guy that you shouldn't overload." But ADEYEMI comes into a fresh wind into the troop, and pressure is also built up to certain positions and the competitive situation is heated: "That alone will bring us a bit," said Rose. However, ADEYEMI is not a classic penal striker - which is why BVB continues to look at the transfer market: "I think that we still have to do something in the center forward," said Rose. Overall, Rose is satisfied with the previous transfers - previously the two national defenders Nico Schlotterbeck (SC Freiburg) and Niklas Süle (Bayern Munich) - were satisfied: "I am convinced that we can attack with the staff."
farewell? - Rose: "There will be no gifts"
On Saturday, however, it is time to say goodbye - not just from Haaland. Long -time captain Marcel Schmelzer, the former regular keeper Roman Bürki or midfield driver Axel Witsel will also leave the club after the end of the season. "There will be no gifts," Rose didn't want to give anyone a guarantee of use. With Schmelzer, who has been wearing the BVB jersey since 2005 and played 367 competitive games for BVB, this is excluded anyway. "He has not been in team training for four months, which also has a few insurance -relevant topics," said Rose. "As much as I would like it to myself and the fans, some things are simply not feasible, and that is the case with Schmelzer. He will be in the stadium and hopefully not for the last time. It will certainly be very special."
After the farewells, Rose expected his players that they are fully concentrated and focused again when they kicked off. "It is important to set a sign again and to take everything out," he announced. Of the last injured players, only Thomas Meunier has the chance of a squad square, even if it is rather low. For Mateu Morey, Mahmoud Dahoud and Thorgan Hazard, it is certainly not enough to end the season. "Nobody will be able to play," said Rose.

And then there would be Michael Zorc. In view of the upheaval in the squad, the sports director Sebastian Kehl will also be handed over to the previous license player planner after the Hertha game. "He was not only a sports director, but also a successful player for years. He shaped an era," said Rose. "I think it will be missing." However, the farewell does not take place overnight, so that BVB is "prepared for it". "Besides, he's not out of the world and I will call him from time to time and ask him for advice," concluded Rose. ****
