Interesting, how do you know?
Any GM will tell you this position (after Re1) is +-.
The problem is that _you_ do not understand how bad this position really is.

You said black can play Bd7 followed by Nc6. This is obviously wrong.
It fails tactically.

Show me how you want to proceed after Re1.

No, this is clearly wrong from an objective point of view. The position after
10...e4 11.Nd2 is clearly better for black compared to this mess.
