After a relative lean spell the Gabon international came good for Thomas Tuchel's men, but the coach says he never lost faith
Borussia Dortmund head coach Thomas Tuchel is encouraging Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang not to over-think his game after his double against Freiburg.
Aubameyang had gone four games without a goal in all competitions prior to Saturday's 3-0 Bundesliga win.
During that relative dry spell, the Gabon international had endured a miserable outing at Benfica in the Champions League, missing a penalty as well as two gilt-edged chances before being substituted.
Two more simple opportunities went begging in the first half at Freiburg, but Aubameyang remained patient and got his reward with a pair of straightforward tap-ins in the second period, adding to Sokratis Papastathopoulos' early header.
