Julien Duranville started with Dortmund last night. This did not bring luck to Borussia.
Julien Duranville was rewarded by Nuri Sahin for his very good rise to the game against Bayer Leverkusen (even with an assist, not enough to avoid defeat). The 18-year-old Belgian was lined up from the start against Holstein Kiel last night.
It was neither more nor less the very first start of his young career in the Bundesliga. Arriving in the Ruhr two years ago, Duranville has already given a glimpse of the extent of the talent which pushed the club to pay eight million for him.
But injuries prevented him from establishing himself in the team for a long time. The medical staff had to be very careful for a long time before being able to give him a little more leeway this season.
Borussia’s difficult season is confirmed
For Duranville, this start in the championship is therefore a first step. But he will probably prefer not to keep it in his memory for too long. BVB was trailing 3-0 at half-time at the promoted side, which was also the score when Duranville came off on the hour mark.
The young Red Devil showed his usual desire and dynamism, with several characteristic accelerations, he was also warned. Dortmund came back to score two goals but ultimately lost 4-2, Borussia is only ninth in the Bundesliga.
