Nwaneri: The Build-Up to the Winning Goal Was Beautiful, I Hope We Can Produce More Attacks Like This

In the second round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund came from behind to beat Hoffenheim 3-2 away from home. After the match, Nwaneri, who completed his Dortmund debut, spoke in an interview about the comeback and his combination play with teammates.

Congratulations on completing your Borussia Dortmund debut. How did this match feel for you?

Yes, it was a very difficult match. However, I think throughout the game we could feel the energy brought by the fans and their support for us. I believe these things kept pushing us to hold on until the end, gave us motivation, and provided the energy we needed to win the match.

You played an important role in the team's 3-2 winning goal. Can you take us through what happened at that moment?

I think it was a very good attacking combination from us. Jobe found me between the lines, and then I found Fabio. I think this is the kind of combination and understanding we will gradually build going forward. So, it was a beautiful team goal, and I hope we can produce more moves like this in the future.

You came on as a substitute in the first half. How do you think your link-up play with your new teammates was?

I think it is a match where it is difficult to immediately find your rhythm after coming on midway through. The opponents played very well in the first 60 minutes, and I think they caused us a lot of problems. So, it was indeed a very difficult match. However, as the game went on, we gradually found our rhythm and the momentum started to build. We turned the situation around well, and I am very happy that we were ultimately able to get this result.
