Four goal involvements in one go: BVB gem on Kovac's list? | OneFootball

Keeping an eye on your own club’s young talent is almost always worth it. At BVB, one gem in the U23 side in particular has now caused a stir.

In the win over Bocholt, Tim Degener shone with no fewer than four goal involvements. The 19-year-old became the man of the match by scoring the 1-0 in the first minute, netting the 2-1, and providing two more assists. The match ended 4-2 for Dortmund’s U23s. The two assists were finished first-time by Sumbu and Mutove. His first goal was the fastest of his career so far and came immediately after kickoff. For the 2-1, the midfielder was in exactly the right place after a shot hit the post and tapped in the rebound.

After the match, the youngster answered journalists’ questions and described the game as his best performance in senior football so far: “I think in terms of goal contributions, probably yes.” That is according to a report by Ruhr24.

His coach Daniel Rios also could not stop praising him after the final whistle. Daniel Rios said that goals and assists crowned his performance: “Over the past few weeks, Tim has kept improving more and more – just like the team.” In recent matches, it had already been clear that he is always a goal threat: “I’m happy that he has been rewarded for the effort he always puts in,” the Borussia Dortmund U23 coach continued.

Could he be one for the first team?

Tim Degener only joined the second team from the U19s before the current season. He is also a true homegrown player: he has been wearing black and yellow since the U10s. Degener plays in midfield, but can also line up at left-back. So he also brings plenty of versatility.

All in all, he has already scored three goals in the current Regionalliga season and has impressed overall with strong performances. Tim Degener is therefore a name BVB fans should remember. And the youngster has surely already at least vaguely appeared on the radar of BVB coach Niko Kovač as well.
