Borussia Dortmund’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Zorc describes the game against Olympiakos as ‘last chance’: UCL news
Borussia Dortmund’s Director of Sport Michael Zorc has described the club’s UEFA Champions League game against Olympiakos as very important and a last chance to redeem themselves. He claimed that another poor performance would surely finish their chances of progressing in the competition.
Die Borussen will take on Olympiakos at the Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday, November 1, in their fourth match of the group stage fixtures. They have currently been unable to secure any victories in the competition and have tasted defeat in two of the three matches played. The only draw came against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 as Dortmund sit at the bottom of the table behind Arsenal, Olympique Marseille and Olympiakos.
Zorc claimed that Tuesday’s game is vital if the side has any chances to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League. He admitted that the displays in Europe have not been up to the mark but is confident that the side will prove its worth with a win.
“This is the most important game of the season. This game is our last chance,” he was quoted as saying in an interview to Bild.com.
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp also stressed on the importance of a win against the Greek opposition. He stated that the players are determined to prove their worth in Europe with a victory and good results in the remaining games also. He also insisted that the team will prove the critics wrong who have labelled the German team’s performance last season as a fluke.
“I still do not understand why we have not reached the levels of the Bundesliga in the Champions League. We will prove that we can also compete in Europe - and that is only with a win. I feel that the team will give it everything and prove themselves to all the critics,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 manager concluded.
Die Borussen still have to play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and Olympique Marseille at the Signal Iduna Park after the match against Olympiakos. The club’s chances of progressing further are low as they have one point from three games so far.
