BERLIN, Sept. 16-- Talking about himself is not something that comes easily to Paco Alcacer. The 26-year-old Spaniard is a humble person who is always respectful of others. Ahead of Borussia Dortmund's first 2019-20 Champions League match against Spanish giants FC Barcelona, Alcacer has been bombarded with questions over how he views his former club. Instead of discussing the negative aspects of his two years at Barcelona between 2016 and 2018, the Spanish international prefers to focus on his current role as Dortmund's No. 9. Alcacer has scored five goals in four league games so far this season, and his side's convincing 4-0 win over rivals Bayer Leverkusen suggests that things are going better than ever at the Westfalenstadion. Though Alcacer never talks in terms of revenge, there is a suggestion that he is enjoying his status as a starting striker, having had to play second fiddle behind Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Barcelona. In most of his 50 games for Los Cules he was a substitute, but still managed to score 15 goals. "There is nothing to be proved against Barca," he insists, adding that he is just happy to meet his old teammates. Fans might only get behind the story when he talks about his present success. "It seems I never got as much trust as I have with Dortmund," he commented, adding that the statistics speak for themselves. He might have thought about his 10 latest goals for Dortmund and the Spanish national team. |
