Mathis Albert at Dortmund

Yeah.. but Timmy Chandler is on the bench for Eintracht!

 

He has actually played in 3 games this season.

 

Blech. He's on my ignore list... turned down call-ups too many times. LOL

 

Starting in the final of a B team tournament against Real Madrid.

 

Real Madrid 0-1 Dortmund, on a nice goal. Champions!

 

An excellent secondary assist. A strong game overall. The keeper won them the game that they weren't the best.

 

Also to note that, according the news outlet Ruhr Nachrichten. It doesn't seem like he will be with the team right away when they start preseason preparation on Sunday. He will get an extended vacation based on how much he played last season between 3 levels. It appears to me he will join the team right before they go on their Japanese tour.

 

Should be lots of eyes on this thread.

 

Liked and subscribed!

 

Looks like some dortmund transfer out will come in few days:

duranville, adyemi.

THis is good news for Albert for playing time.

 

Duranville to Lyon looks like it's already been finalized

 

Dortmund also have a new sporting director, the guy who took Elversberg from the lower leagues to the Bundesliga in just a couple of years. It will be interesting to see what he can do at a club like BVB and how he builds the squad. There have been some rumors about El Mala, which would be bad news for Albert, but at the moment it seems unlikely that Dortmund would be willing to pay the €50 million asking price.

 

We need this! Please light it up like someone else did 10years ago, but be less injury prone and less streaky! Too much to ask?

 

I think this may be actually not good news for him. Dortmund already didn’t have many wingers. With Adeyemi leaving, it would reinforce to Kovač that the team should keep to the current formation that doesn’t play with wingers.

Also this is just a personal opinion and not based on any report or anything but I do not get the impression that Kovač actually rates this kid. Based on how I’m seeing things play out.

 

Kovac out

 

Some contradictory news. Originally RN said that he would not be present initially with the squad at the beginning of preseason preparation. But he is here.

Albert came off at halftime. I watched the first half of the game. Dortmunds lineup was about half academy kids and half senior team regulars and Albert looked by far the best of the academies imo

 

Doesnt seem to be a burner?

 

No, definitely a weakness. Decent 0 to 60 but not much straight line speed

 

Like how he stayed on his feet when getting knocked around, like at about 1:17 in that clip. We need more Rooney's in the game.

Not sure not being a burner is a weakness. I mean, Albert doesn't look slow, per se. He has quick feet and controls the ball well, and gets blocks in also. How fast does a 'burner' have to be? Top speed 33+ kmh? 35+?

 

Idk just clarifying really. Havent seen him much

 

Not even sure he is a winger when adult, more like AM. Not Pulisic who eventually moved to the wing, young Reyna who was playing on the right originally for BVB.
