Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp admits title defence would be difficult- Bundesliga news
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that defending the Bundesliga title next season would not be an easy task. He claimed that the team played a sensational season last term and the standard set would be a bit difficult
to achieve again.
Die Borussen won the Bundesliga title last term as after 11 years as they accumulated 75 points from the 34 games played. Winning the league was an amazing achievement as Dortmund had the youngest side in the Bundesliga last season.
Klopp refused to predict any targets for next season claiming that whenever we set goals, we are never happy with the results and that there is huge amount of pressure on the players. He added that Bayern Munich have spent heavily
in the transfer market and to compete with them next season will be very difficult.
“Absolutely not. If the goals are too high, you will never be happy. And we cannot normally hold a candle to Bavaria. For our title http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 would have been Christmas and Easter fall on a day,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The manager admitted that the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid was a huge blow for the club and was unsure whether the new signings would be able to perform to the level the Turkish international did. He admitted that even
if Sahin stayed, it would have been a huge task to repeat the success achieved last season.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 manager hoped that the team is up for the task in the upcoming season and remained confident that Dortmund will prove its metal in the UEFA Champions League also.
“Even with Nuri I would not guarantee that we will play football again the same. This also represents an opportunity may arise to make our game more variable,” he concluded.
Borussia Dortmund have the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-Barrios-c22533 in their ranks and only some will doubt the capability of the side after the sensational win last term.
