In the third round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund defeated Paderborn 3-0 at home. Fábio Silva scored in the 5th minute in the opening match, giving his team an early lead. After the match, Fábio Silva was interviewed and discussed why he ran to Nmecha to celebrate after scoring, as well as their relationship and the team's squad this season.

Nmecha: He is my brother, my number one striker.

Fábio, that's actually my first question. After scoring, you ran straight to the bench to find Felix—why?

Because both in football and in life, sometimes things aren't as easy as they seem. Last season and at the start of this season, there was too much noise around me, and many things like that happened.

But he always came to me, trying to push me to be better and helping me focus on what I could control. He also always told me that I could be an important part of the team. So we're always together. He is one of my best friends on the team and has helped me greatly. I also tell him that not just in this match, but in previous matches where things went well, I will go to him and thank him, because he has helped me so much.

There are some things I can't say all here, because I can't tell everyone everything we've talked about. But he is definitely one of the people who helped me reach this point. If I can be in this condition now, it's also thanks to him.

Isn't it a bit of a waste for Felix to play in midfield? If he can score a goal like that today, shouldn't he be playing further forward?

Only he can score a goal like that, because his physical quality is too strong. If I tried that, I might get injured. But seriously, I always tell him things like this. Because he started today's match from the bench, of course, everyone wants to be a starter, but I told him: "You will play an important role."

Just like I did last weekend—I also started from the bench, but after coming on, I completed my task and played an important role for the team. So I told him the same thing.

I will try to encourage everyone to be an important part of the team. Because I always say that I think we have a very good team this season, and a very strong squad. So I think we can achieve some very good things this season, and that's what matters most.
