NewzDortmund have not opened a Bundesliga campaign this well since Thomas Tuchel was at the helm during the 2015/16 season.And yet, for Nmecha and Veerman, the opening couple of matchdays were quiet. The Dutchman started on the bench following his summer arrival from PSV Eindhoven, while Nmecha lost his starting place against Paderborn on Matchday 3 after an unconvincing first two outings. "Felix is certainly not where he can be yet.
The preparation was perhaps not what he's used to, but he needs some time now," Kovač said of Nmecha after the first few matchdays. However, the German international would come off the bench to score twice in that 3-0 victory against Paderborn, registering his first Bundesliga brace and matching his entire league tally from the previous campaign.
