Jurgen Klopp blames his players for the loss against Hannover 9 – Bundesliga news
Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has blames his players for the late goals that led to Dortmund’s defeat on Sunday. The reigning champions met http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492 on Sunday, September 18, at AWD-Arena which saw the hosts winning by a 2-1 margin.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Konan-Ya-c11047 scored goals for the home side on the 86th and 88th mark respectively to earn a win.
The Dortmund manager believes that his defence took it lightly in the closing stages and that led to the equalizer. He also thought that his team squandered a number of chances upfront which resulted in the defeat. Klopp reckons that had Kagawa and Perisic
made use of their opportunities, the result could have been in the Borussians’ favour.
Klopp, though, urged his side to stay focused despite losing to the underdogs. He is confident of providing a title challenge to the current leaders Bayern Munich in spite of making a poor start to this year’s campaign. The manager also pointed to the absence
of influential midfielder Mario Gotze, whose void was filled by Antonio da Silva on Sunday.
While talking to the local website, Klopp further enthused, "It was clear to see that the team had big plans, but in the end we're left empty handed and we only have ourselves to blame for it. The way we played wasn't bad, but the final result is. The loss
really hurts us, but we can only learn from this defeat. We outplayed them in every area if you look at the statistics, yet we failed to beat them."
Klopp admitted about his team’s struggling nature thus far but claimed that they will bounce back strongly in the next game. He also confirmed about Gotze’s fitness; he is certain to take part in the club’s next fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166.
The Black Yellows are currently 11th on the league table with seven points from six games and will take on the O-Fives in the next game on Saturday, September 24, at Coface Arena.
