Dortmund Manager Praises Onyedika Despite Victory
Borussia Dortmund manager Nuri Sahin paid tribute to Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika following his team’s 3-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League.
Sahin acknowledged Onyedika’s significant impact on the game, highlighting his ability to control the tempo and dictate play.
“We knew that Club Brugge’s game runs through Raphael Onyedika, but we failed to neutralize him,” Sahin said in his post-match press conference.
“He’s a very talented player with excellent vision and passing range. He made it difficult for us to gain possession and control the midfield.”
Despite Dortmund’s victory, Sahin expressed respect for Club Brugge’s performance. He praised the Belgian side’s defensive organization and their ability to create chances, even against a strong Dortmund team.
Onyedika’s performance was a standout moment for Club Brugge. His ability to dictate the pace of the game and distribute the ball effectively made him a constant threat to Dortmund’s defense.
While his team ultimately fell short, Onyedika’s performance was a testament to his growing reputation as one of the most promising young talents in European football.
