Jaden Sancho, it has to be mentioned in advance, was one of the best in the Dortmund team in the 3-0 (0-0) against Arminia Bielefeld.
Again, for weeks.
To top it off, he converted his first penalty in the Bundesliga, it was the decisive goal to make it 2-0.
When asked how he rebuilt 20-year-old Sancho, Dortmund's trainer Edin Terzic said with a slightly enthusiastic undertone during the duel against Bielefeld: “We have often mentioned that Sancho has not forgotten how to play football.
Everyone was spoiled with what he has achieved over the years.
Don't forget that he's still a young guy.
We tried to support him and gave him a different role.
Now it is important to continue that so that it performs consistently.
We definitely need him to achieve our goals. "
What he demonstrated against Bielefeld.
For example, he prepared the 1-0 win for Mahmoud Dahoud.

That is of course impressive and has now earned him a lot of respect again.
"With Haaland he is probably one of the hottest players in European football," said Sky expert Dietmar Hamann after Dortmund's victory, but also pointed out: "He came from England and may want to play there again.
Manchester United will probably take a fresh start.
I hope, of course, that he stays with us in the Bundesliga.
But there will probably be a pain threshold somewhere.
He's a great player and the fact that he has now come out of this crisis shows that he has character and the right mind for it. "
"Sancho has been working differently for a few weeks"
So it could have been the day of Jaden Sancho, he has not had so much concentrated glory for a long time.
But then his captain stepped in, Mats Hummels should say something to him too.
Hummels is a smart guy, he knew that he owed something to Sancho after such an appearance, especially as captain.
But because he is also someone who would like to get rid of a message, he also packed a portion of criticism into his adulation.
Yes, said Hummels, Sancho was “there and plays really well”.
The defense chief then immediately provided the reasons for this: “He's been working differently for a few weeks.
Both in training or in the weight room, as well as on the court and then you will be rewarded.
Attacking players sometimes have to learn that work pays off. ”That sat and allowed us to look deeply, for example at the losing streak that the England international had in the first half of the season.

Because Hummels is clever and responsible, especially a good rhetorician, in the end he again spun a conciliatory arc.
“Now he plays outstandingly and even gives the direction when he plows, wins the duels.
We all know that he has an offensive potential like few others, ”he said.
That should suit him and the team at the right time.
In good time before the cup quarter-finals in Mönchengladbach on Tuesday (8.45 p.m., in the sports ticker of the WELT), the league classic at Bayern (March 6) and the second leg of the second leg in the Champions League against FC Sevilla (9. March) within nine days, BVB seems back on track.
After three successes in a row over Sevilla (3: 2), Schalke (4: 0) and Bielefeld, everyone involved thinks they are on the upswing.
“That was good, but it goes on.
We now have three absolute hits.
We have to prove that we are really further, ”said Hummels.
With a steadfast eye, he added: "There is definitely an improvement to be seen, but there is still room for improvement."
