In the interview zone of the Freiburg stadium there were strange things to observe on Easter Sunday. While the players on the one hand reported marvelous things about the football of the team that had just won 4-0, the players on the other side acted as if nothing special had happened.

However, it was the Freiburg pros who praised the precision, technical finesse and efficiency of Borussia Dortmund, while the two most important players on the pitch - Mario Götze and Marco Reus - put their own light under the bushel.

"We would do well to accelerate until the end of the season, we can not influence anything else, anyway," said Götze, who was much smelled and had an overview and passport security, as otherwise only another actor: colleague Reus. The expressed then in comparison to Götze also almost euphoric and was happy about his "first goal as a father".

It would have given reason enough for the two national players to act a little less modestly. Because whenever Götze and Reus tightened the pace, goals for BVB fell. In the first, the two in conjunction with Raphaël Guerreiro fractured the Freiburg defensive team in fractions of a second, before Jadon Sancho held out his foot.

Bundesliga: Dortmund is on the heels of Bayern

Freiburg defender Dominique Heintz then drove right-back Pascal Stenzel, who gave guilty. But in truth, the pace of the Dortmund offensive was too high for the entire Freiburg defensive team. On the second goal, Guerreiro put forward Reus for a quick ball, while the third served Reus for Götze. The fourth was a converted penalty by Paco Alcácer.

The fact that Dortmund is in the championship race after this round of matches, so is mainly due to the offensive power of Borussia. And that with Reus and Götze two of the most important Dortmund players are even in the most important season in top form.

This then covered an observation that coach Lucien Favre thematized: In contrast to the Bayern, who won their last sovereign games, was missing at BVB exactly this serenity. Even if you take the 0: 5 in Munich as a collective blackout from the rating, there were both the 2: 1 in Mainz and in Freiburg phases in which the BVB was under pressure and the game control. In Freiburg it was the period after the opening goal, in which the SC had three chances within six minutes. "When Freiburg does that 1-1," said Favre, "the whole game changes."

Favre also found that the result was significantly too high. And was so, measured by the game shares, right. However, this did not change the individual superiority of his team, which was adequately reflected in the four-goal difference. "If there are rooms, they have extreme fit and speed," said SC coach Christian Streich.

Reus puts Götze for the first time a BVB goal

The more talk then offered the third goal of BVB, which was a perfect co-production of the two best Dortmund. Finally, it was the first time that Reus buddy Götze has opened a goal for Dortmund. "We have to talk about that, that's impossible," said Götze later.

Reus also gave credible record that he had not been aware of this omission sin: "No idea why that is.We have also talked about it and could not believe it, because we have not even thought about it." He spoke and disappeared on the team bus. Previously, however, he assured that the team "trusts the bus driver". The day before, when trying to park in front of the hotel, the vehicle had been put into the Bächle. It remained the only negative experience of a Dortmund tour from successful Easter excursion.
