Sancho disproved Ten Hag’s excuse in his Dortmund re-opening

Jadon Sancho He enjoyed football again in Borussia Dortmund’s win over Darmstadt 98. The Englishman hasn’t stopped smiling since he arrived at the stadium, making it clear that he is happy in Dortmund. A happiness he never found at Manchester United, especially under the command of Ten Hag, who was unable to bring out the best version of him and ended up parting ways with him for disciplinary reasons.

An exciting half hour

He entered the field before the 60th minute and did not know the state of his form, as he had not competed in five months. In the preview, Edin Terzić, the coach of Borussia, has already warned that he is not ready to play the whole game, but that he is in good physical condition. The field needs to speak and the truth has already done so. From the moment he entered the field, it was as if he never left. There was no sign of being a shy boy in a United shirt. He receives and tackles, drives and looks to hurt opposing defenses. In other words, he is the Jadon Sancho that every football lover has come to love. His connection with Reus, whom he assisted to make it 0-2, was very special.

In the last meters he had some mistakes and he didn’t always understand himself with his teammates, but sometimes, it’s not what you reach but what you send, which in this case turned out to be positive . He will need time to express all the talent he has inside, what he doesn’t need is confidence, because Dortmund’s number 10 has given it back to him, as if he has the power.

He didn’t want to change his shirt at the end of the game

Sancho had a bad time away from his profession. His stay in Manchester seemed to be a dream and it turned into a nightmare. For this reason, the game was so special that at the end of it, a rival player asked him to change the shirt and you can read on his lips how he told him: “no, it’s for me.” It’s a detail, but what a detail. It wasn’t just another shirt, it was the shirt he wore on the field again.
