BERLIN, Nov. 27-- The Bundesliga's best scorer is only a part-time worker. In only four of his nine season games Borussia Dortmund's Paco Alcacer was part of the starting eleven, but already he has scored ten goals. The 25-year-old forward has not only scored the most league goals this season, but also set a new record last weekend. The Spaniard only needed 240 playing minutes to score nine league goals and one goal in the Champions League. He scores every 26 minutes on average. A figure, that sets a new mark in the 55-year history of Germany's first division. In the 1963/64 season the former record holder, Hamburg's striker Gert Doerfel, needed 565 minutes to score the same amount of goals. Ahead of their Champions League group match against the Belgian side FC Bruges this Wednesday evening, Dortmund fans describe Alcacer as a "mentality monster". Lucien Favre praised his striker's instinct. "He feels football, he is born like that," the Dortmund coach said The Group A clash will most likely be Alcacer's fifth appearance in the starting eleven. Considering his tight time frame on the pitch it is easy to understand that the Black and Yellows' new hero is desperately trying to be around for the full 90 minutes as soon as possible. "It is his claim to be in the line up from the beginning, but if he continues to score that often coming from the bench we should think about it," commented Dortmund striker Marco Reus with a smile on his face. Alcacer is the currently best substitute in Germany's national league having scored eight goals coming off the bench. |
