Dortmund - It has been an extended and hard way back into the limelight for Nuri Sahin, but following the 5-1 win over SC Freiburg on Matchday 26, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder finally felt like he was getting some way back to his best, thanks not only to his first Bundesliga support. Beginning a game for only the 2nd time since returning to Dortmund, he made the most of the total 90 minutes, touching the ball 96 times - significantly more than any person - and aiding for Robert Lewandowski to score in an archive eighth straight game. A short while later, a joyous Turkish international spoke about ever-improving progress, his understanding with midfield friend Ilkay GAndogan and his regard for head coach JArgen Klopp. Question: Nuri Sahin, after 40 minutes, it didnat appear to be it would be such a comfortable day for you personally. Where was it going wrong? Nuri Sahin: We let Freiburg play too much and that has been the problem. We probably deserved to fall behind, but we revealed what we can perform and returned clearly. Which was important, especially at home facing our own fans. Question: Were the first-half issues also down to the fact that you and Ilkay GAndogan had to get used to playing together in the center of the midfield for the first time? Sahin: The situation in the very first 40 minutes was nothing related to me or Ilkay maybe not gelling. Freiburgas Max Kruse and Marco Terrazzino combined well several times and so we werenat ready to pick up the second balls they kept items very wide. We did that much better in the next half. Question: Could be the Sahin/GAndogan partnership an alternative for the future? Sahin: We shouldnat speculate about that now. We've got plenty of excellent players in the squad and that applies to midfield as well. Besides, weare planning to need all the participants weave got, as you can see against Freiburg. Without Sebastian Kehl and Sven Bender, it had been essential for us to pay without the product quality falling in this situation, and I think Ilkay and I did a good work. Question: Leonardo Bittencourt had believed that you would report against Freiburg, and then he got his first Bundesliga goal too... Sahin: Leo and I can get on effectively. Heas got to keep his feet on a lawn, though I've to state he experienced really well this week. He was rewarded by the coach with a and he deserved to play and to report. Weare all delighted for him. Question: You and the whole group had to dig deep to find yourself in the overall game. Was it an issue of determination to be able to conduct this way? Sahin: This game was another step in my progress. Elements of the crowd were beginning to get restless, but I was just spurred by that on much more never to hide and to take some risks. I think I am going in the proper path. Itas recovering on a regular basis, and you might observe that against Freiburg. Iam pleased that I surely could play my part in this gain. Question: Was this each day that you had been eagerly waiting for? Sahin: The coach always told me it was merely a matter of time before I reached my level and really helped the team, but I myself was getting rather impatient. An obligation was felt by me to settle the faith that Dortmund have placed in me. Just how everyone has backed me at the club would not happen elsewhere. I started against Hamburg but didnat play well then. Now I am expecting the dollar has finally dropped. Question: And your son was in the ground as a fortunate charm... Sahin: My son Amer was here for the very first time and that was a fantastic feeling. I simply had to perform well for him. Question: Simply how much of the old Nuri Sahin have we seen against Freiburg? Sahin: I believe Iave been increasing bit by bit since finding its way back to Dortmund, even in training. Now the self-confidence is slowly returning and Iam more comfortable with my game too. I do misplace a couple of moves, but thatas part of my game - if I didnat simply take some risks with my passing, then Iad you need to be a regular player, but thatas not what I want. My game is about dangers and Iam permitted to show that here. The instructor doesnat just let it, he actually requires it. That type of belief from the instructor does me and my game the planet of good. Dietmar Nolte reporting from Dortmund
