Not Adeyemi: surprise Dortmund star in Kicker Team of the Week | OneFootball

Karim Adeyemi scored the goal of the day in the 1-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg with remarkable force and was also an active player in Borussia's game. However, this was not enough for a nomination in the Team of the Day by Kicker. Instead, another Borussia player, who was also involved in the 1-0 goal, is featured there.

As noted, Karim Adeyemi's shot, which ultimately secured the three points, had a speed of 126 km/h. He also took the most shots on goal in this match and sprinted the most of all players – 29 times. Even in the Kicker match report of the Borussia Dortmund vs. VfL Wolfsburg game, the nine-time German international is declared the "Player of the Match."

Apparently, other professionals in the offensive area were even stronger in their performances on this matchday. Chief among them is the Player of the Entire Matchday, Harry Kane, who received this award not only for the second time but was also included in the Team of the Day on all four matchdays. There would still have been room for Adeyemi, but this spot is occupied by Oliver Burke and Ermedin Demirovic, among others.

Ryerson Provides Assist for 1-0

The fact that BVB does not go empty-handed in the Team of the Day selection is due to the equally excellent performance of Julian Ryerson. On the right side, the Norwegian showed his usual fighting spirit and made several advances forward. One of these led to the 1-0 that Adeyemi scored so spectacularly. This marks Julian Ryerson's second assist of the season, making him currently the leader in the club's internal ranking at BVB.

He also receives the reward in the form of his first nomination for the Team of the Day by the specialist magazine, which he was granted exactly once in the previous season as well. Julian Ryerson rarely stands in the spotlight but is an important cog in Niko Kovac's team. Yesterday, he presented himself so efficiently that he was considered by experts to be the strongest player in the entire Bundesliga in his position.
