Veerman on BVB: „It just gives you goosebumps“ | OneFootball

Since joining BVB, Joey Veerman has been delighted with his new club. Serhou Guirassy and the atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park in particular have made a big impression on him.

For Joey Veerman, it is not only the sporting challenges that have shaped his first weeks at Borussia Dortmund. The experience of Signal Iduna Park has also already left a lasting impression on the Dutch newcomer. The atmosphere in the stands especially thrilled the 27-year-old during his first appearance on home turf.

“When you come out to warm up and the fans are singing so loudly, you just get goosebumps,” Veerman said enthusiastically in an interview with Bundesliga.com. The midfielder joined Dortmund from PSV Eindhoven in August for 22 million euros and signed a contract with BVB until 2031.

On the pitch, Veerman has big ambitions with his new club. In the long term, Borussia Dortmund should not be satisfied with trailing far behind FC Bayern. “We have to close the gap to Bayern. To do that, we need to win a lot of games,” the Dutchman made clear. He is approaching the upcoming challenges with the Black and Yellows accordingly full of confidence.

Veerman full of praise for BVB striker Guirassy

The fact that Veerman has apparently settled in quickly at Dortmund is also down to his new teammates. He seems particularly pleased with his partnership with Serhou Guirassy. In his view, the striker not only regularly makes himself available for passes, but is also heavily involved in BVB’s combination play.

“I’m impressed by his quality. I can always pass to him. He always moves toward the ball and helps create connections with the other players. That’s exactly what I like,” Veerman said about Guirassy. The Dutchman by no means sees the 30-year-old only as an important focal point in Dortmund’s build-up play. His finishing ability has also won him over: “And in front of goal he is really very dangerous as well. He is a top striker.”

Veerman himself has made six competitive appearances for Dortmund so far, recording one assist. His first impressions show that the new signing has arrived at BVB — and has taken a liking to both the atmosphere and the sporting possibilities at his new club.
