The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 boss has expressed his disappointment on the defeat to Borussia Dortmund this past weekend and is hopeful of a place in Europe.
The Wolves suffered a 3-1 defeat at home against the reigning champions which ended their five match unbeaten streak. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 scored a brace for the away side whereas Ilkay Gundogan found the net once to secure all three
points for the champions.
Magath claimed that his side never had a chance against the Black Yellows as the players never adjusted to the pace of the game. The manager added that Dortmund certainly played the better football and truly deserved all three
points at the end of the day.
The former Schalke boss claimed that the performance in the second-half was a much improved one in comparison to the display before the interval. He added that the team could have put further pressure on the away side with a second
goal but a third strike from Lewandowski sealed the game.
“BVB were the more mature side. We showed them too much respect and didn't seize the initiative. We only showed that we could put the champions under pressure after we scored. I wasn't happy with the first 45 minutes. We allowed
our opponents room to play,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, Jurgen Klopp was elated with his teams showing against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952. He admitted that it was a difficult clash as Wolfsburg is a strong side when playing at home. He added that the win shows that Dortmund are well
capable of beating any team in the league and remained confident of retaining the league title.
“Anyone who wins 3-1 in Wolfsburg ought to be happy and we are. Wolfsburg are difficult to defend against. At 2-1 it was clear it was going to be tense, but I think we deserved to win once we got the third goal,” he concluded.
The Borussians will next take on Bayern Munich in one of the most awaited games of the season. The clash is already being touted as a title decider as a win for either side would enhance their chance of winning the Bundesliga.
