As a referee Daniel Siebert the game between the 1st FC Cologne and Borussia Dortmund's final whistle, Haaland pouted for a few minutes with empty views on the BVB Bank. To recognize how much the title-k.o. The 21-year-old, it did not need an expert for body language - very much to the delight of his counterpart.

"We were well defended as a team. It's nice to see him sitting on the bench so insulted," said Cologne-defender Luca Kilian, which was aligned with the BVB.

Kilian and his colleagues could not stop Haaland (BVB-Note 4.5) completely coldly. That the scorer in the 56th minute the withstand the best BVB chance in the second 45 minutes is comparatively miserable, however, the mood of the Youngster should also have not been beneficial. Especially since the game for Haaland represented a turf: never before the superstar remained in the BVB jersey in three league games in a row without their own hits.

BVB: Not the first disappointing performance of Erling Haaland

The fact that criticism from the Dortmund leadership in the face of low operating times and the injury currently underly survived is understood by itself.

However, the inclined observer should not have escaped that Haaland did not leave a disappointed, almost thin-skinned impression for the first time in recent months. Already after the surprising 2: 3 defeat against Hertha BSC in mid-December 2021 Haaland looked Mürrisch.

"He did not play passionately. Wanted provoking and provoking himself provoke. Today he has shown everything that I've never seen from him," Record National Player Lothar Matthew already put his finger in the wound.

Disagreement in the Haaland timetable at BVB

Shortly provoked, Haaland has also provoked shortly thereafter when he opened in mid-January 2022 opposite the Norwegian TV channel "Viaplay", the BVB tries to "urge him in a decision" regarding his future. He really wanted to "play football only".

And indeed: the daily rumors and speculation about top clubs who want to lure Haaland in summer - dream salary - in their ranks, clearly take the unshakingly-acting Northern Europeans a little bit of the wind from the sails.

In this context, it seems that you do not agree on yourself in the top BVB circles, when clarity in the Causa Haaland, who may leave the Ruhr area probably due to an agreement after the ongoing season for 75 million euros.

One month ago Borussen-Boss Hans-Joachim Watzke in conversation with RTL / NTV still clarity in the "next weeks, maybe a month, maybe six weeks" in view, recently denied Sebastian Kehl to "Dazn" as well Tought deadline.

Everything speaks against a whereabouts at the BVB

Meanwhile, according to matching media reports, it is clear that a whereabouts in Dortmund is no longer in question.

It is not surprising: just playing football, as demanded, the attacker could of course also in Dortmund, an undisputed leadership role would be safe on the boron park and at the hunger towards he would certainly not be gnawed at the black and yellow. But an extraordinary player like Haaland wants to fill his vita with titles.

The belief that this is possible on a large level with the BVB, not least the mow Remis in Cologne should have stolen him.

From the point of view of the BVB, it is therefore only to be hoped that certainty is soon and frustration slides again rehearsing.
