Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Who is your favourite player? | Your questions for former player Lucas Barrios

The best moment in my career.

From Borusse to Borusse

Yes.

During your time, who was the best Dortmunder in your eyes?

Well, I played with Mario Götze, and we had a good team.

Also with Kagawa when he was at his peak, but Mario Götze was very strong for the team in 2010.

Who was or is your best friend at BVB?

Roman – Roman Weidenfeller. I’m a big friend of Roman because he helped me a lot when I was in Dortmund,

and I’m happy because it can be hard for South American people in another country,

and I’ve always stayed in touch with him, and with Shinji Kagawa.

We met up in Dortmund three years ago, and I’m happy because I had lots of friends in Dortmund.

Do you still follow BVB games, and have you been back to the stadium?

I’m a Dortmund fan! I’ve always watched their games, Champions League and Bundesliga.

I’ve always said that when Dortmund play, I’ll watch it online – I watch everything.

I’m very happy because right now Dortmund are doing well, on the pitch and financially.

That’s great, because the first years I was there were a bit difficult,

and then we won two titles, Dortmund got better and better and better, and we bought lots of good players.

I’m a long way from Dortmund, but I’m very happy.

Do you miss the weather in Dortmund?

Well, it’s difficult when you’re training in Dortmund, but it was OK for me.

I also played in Russia, where it’s very, very cold,

but when you’re doing well, like we were at Dortmund, you don’t have any problems with the weather.

Who’s your absolute favourite player at the moment?

Sancho. I’ve always said he’s a good player – he’s quick, he scores goals too,

and in football it’s not easy to be that quick and score that many goals, but it’s important.

Hopefully he keeps it up, we’ll see what happens in the Champions League – hopefully Dortmund win it!

How happy are you that you are now playing in the BVB Legends team?

Yes, I’m happy because I have lots of friends here.

I played with Tinga and Dedé, but I’d never played with Koller, and I’ve met him today.

We make up a good team, and we need more Legends games.

I also played lots of games with Zidan, and it’s important for Dortmund that we’re here.

It shows that we did well in Dortmund.

How would you describe your time at BVB in one word?

The best moment in my career.
