Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp insists Hannover clash is vital- Bundesliga news
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that the clash against Hannover is crucial for their title challenge. He admitted that his side desperately need a win as the gap at the top of the table is starting to grow with
the likes of Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen winning their games in recent weeks.
Die Borussen have had a mixed start to the current season and are currently sitting in 11th place with seven points from the five games played. The club suffered a shock home defeat to Hertha Berlin last week in a game
which many would think they should have won.

of the table is growing and can grow more from five points currently.
“Because we lost to Berlin, the gap is starting to grow and we are lagging behind by two or three points. We need to correct this in the coming weeks. The distance should not be too big,” he was quoted as saying in an interview
to Bild.
