Dortmund coach Edin Terzic does not rule out putting Youssoufa Moukoko and Anthony Modeste in the starting XI in the future. “Why not? We want to keep all our options open. The important thing is that we have a good feeling that it can work,” said the 39-year-old coach before the Champions League game in the Bundesliga this Tuesday (9 p.m. / Amazon Prime Video) in front of a home crowd against FC Sevilla.
Dortmund coach Edin Terzic does not rule out putting Youssoufa Moukoko and Anthony Modeste in the starting XI in the future. “Why not? We want to keep all our options open. The important thing is that we have a good feeling that it can work,” said the 39-year-old coach before the Champions League game in the Bundesliga this Tuesday (9 p.m. / Amazon Prime Video) in front of a home crowd against FC Sevilla.
At the 2:2 in the Bundesliga summit against FC Bayern Munich, Modeste, who came on in the 70th minute, prepared the 1:2 through Moukoko and headed the equalizer in the final minute. “On Saturday, they impressively demonstrated that the two not only harmonize well on but also off the pitch,” commented Terzic.
The 34-year-old Modeste, who was hired to replace Sébastien Haller, who was suffering from a tumor during the summer break, had lost his regular place to Moukoko after disappointing performances and was already considered a bad buy by many fans. After his liberating sense of achievement against Bayern, the former Cologne player also considers it “an option” to storm alongside the youngster in the future. Despite the competitive situation, both professionals maintain a friendly relationship. “I’m also happy for Mouki that he scored. I’m basically his father,” said Modeste.
Terzic deserves credit for keeping both attackers happy despite being banished to the substitutes’ bench. That’s not the only reason why national player Niklas Süle found words of praise for the former BVB youth coach and scout who was born in Menden. “I’ve never had a coach who is so attached to a club. He’s a Dortmund boy. As a team, we notice every day that he has a lot of fun working for his childhood club, taking us with him and giving outstanding dressing room speeches hold,” enthused the former Bayern professional.
