“The Best” is dead
Haaland posts emotional picture with Raiola

Star striker Erling Haaland scored three times in the “small” district derby against VfL Bochum. But that’s not enough for his BVB to win. Meanwhile, the game of the 32nd match day of the Bundesliga is overshadowed by the news of the death of star advisor Mino Raiola.

Borussia Dortmund’s star striker Erling Haaland reacted to the death of his advisor Mino Raiola and honored him with a photo together. “The best,” the 21-year-old Norwegian wrote on Saturday on his verified Instagram account for a heart and the picture that shows him sitting next to the standing and smiling Italian. On the table in front of them is an autograph card from BVB.

Haaland had previously scored all three Dortmund goals in the 3: 4 (2: 2) in the small district derby against VfL Bochum. During the game, Raiola’s family broke the news of his death on the player’s agent’s verified Twitter account. One of the first to offer condolences to the family was Haaland’s father Alfie. “Rest in peace. The best,” he wrote on Twitter. Alfie Haaland and Raiola were considered the main players in transfer poker involving the BVB star, who is likely to leave the club this summer.

And that after a season that left its mark on Dortmund and its fans. Despite all the good intentions to offer the fans at least one successful and committed Bundesliga final spurt after early knockouts in Europe and in the DFB Cup, the team again drew the annoyance of the annex. What was intended as reconciliation ended in a loud whistling concert. “Of course it’s a big disappointment. We were rightly booed,” said midfielder Julian Brandt.

In front of 81,365 spectators in the sold-out Signal Iduna Park, the second in the table gave a disappointing performance despite Haaland’s three goals (19th penalty, 30th penalty and 62nd). In contrast, Bochum, who had already led 2-0 after a lightning start and goals from Sebastian Polter (3rd) and Gerrit Holtmann (8th), achieved their first win in Dortmund since 1998. Joker Jürgen Locadia (81st) made the deserved success. ) and Milos Pantovic (86./penalty) clear.

With the recent setback, BVB missed out on completing their eighth runners-up championship already on the third to last match day. “We reacted well to being quickly behind. I actually had a good feeling today,” said coach Rose. But in the end, frustration outweighed him too – once again: “We are extremely disappointed.” Even against the cheeky promoted team, it became clear in which part of the team there was the greatest need for action in the urgently needed restructuring of the squad for the coming season. “When I look at the table and see 50 goals conceded as second, it’s clear what the core issue is,” said Rose.
