Zidan came off after a less than impressive
display today as he was replaced by Kuba in the 56th
minute.
Zidan started alongside with Frei as the Paraguayan
striker Valdez is still and injured and the manager
preferred to rest Kuba on bench.
Zidan couldn't show the same level of performance that
he showed in last game. He wasn't effective on goal
and it was only 2 minutes from the start until Zidan
fell in a very clear off-side .
He also fell more than once in off-side trap in the
first half as he was very eager to go on goal but he
lacked concentration.
In addition to this, Zidan always had problems with
his first touch as he gave away possession too often.
In the first half, Zidan lead a couple of counter attacks
from the left side, but none of them could create danger on
goal. However, one of his shots touched the hand of Wolfsburg
defender Costa but the referee waved play on.
Zidan had a couple of attempts on goal in the 56 minutes
that he played. The first attempt was in the first half when
he struck a low shot just wide of the left post. The 2nd attempt
came through a free header but the ball came off a defender
and went out for a corner.
After Zizou's substitution, Dortmund failed to score the
winning goal and the game ended in a 0-0 home draw.
The Egyptian Striker stated before in an interview with BVB
website that he is enjoying life and football at Dortmund
, EP wishes Zidan to reach his best form in the Bundesliga
again ....
