Maximilian Beier: listos para el próximo paso

El Dortmund sumó la mayor cantidad de puntos desde 2018/19 y quedó segundo tras el Bayern, pero Beier asegura que aún pueden dar un paso más este año. Para mí, el potencial es enorme.

In an exclusive interview with the Bundesliga, Beier talks about his relationship with Dortmund head coach Kovač, Borussia’s positive start to the season, their summer recruitment, and the Halloween Klassiker against Vincent Kompany’s charges…

Bundesliga: Maxi, you were ‘working from home’ during the international break, as your head coach recently put it. What did you make of that, as a professional footballer?

Maximilian Beier: «I obviously enjoyed the time off because we have a few demanding weeks coming up. If I unexpectedly get a few days off, even if it’s not by choice, I’m obviously grateful for that.»

Bundesliga: ¿A medio y largo plazo, el descanso realmente benefició a tu cuerpo?

Beier: «Sí, definitivamente. Disfruté mucho el tiempo libre que me dieron.»

Bundesliga: Luego entrenaste con los Sub-23. ¿Cómo lo viviste?

Beier: «Me incorporé el martes. Entrenamos miércoles y jueves, pero los Sub-23 descansaron ese martes, así que entrené con [Marcel] Sabitzer. Disfruto entrenar en grupo grande y rodeado de más compañeros.»

Bundesliga: Has registrado dos asistencias y un gol en la Bundesliga esta temporada. ¿Todo va bien para ti?

Beier: «Estoy satisfecho. Es un buen comienzo.»

Bundesliga: You’ve been used in a lot of different positions lately, which was also a big talking point over the summer. Did it take you some time to get used to that?

Beier: «Obviously, I’m an attacking player by trade. I’ve had very open discussions with the coach, and we get along very well. He also knows that I prefer to play in my natural position, but if he needs me elsewhere, I’m very happy to play there as well.»

Bundesliga: There has been a lot of talk recently about Dortmund’s attacking play. How would you compare it to last season?

Beier: «I don’t know exactly how many goals we’ve scored this season. Three against Hoffenheim and one against Stuttgart? Two against Hamburg? It’s a difficult question to answer. We’re scoring at least one or two goals per game. As long as we keep clean sheets at the other end, which we’ve done quite often in recent games, things are looking pretty good.»
