Jurgen Klopp unhappy with 3-1 Champions League loss to Olympiacos – UCL News
With Borussia Dortmund sitting bottom of Group F, their manager Jurgen Klopp is still optimistic of a place in the next round. He is determined to bounce back from the loss in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 with a win over Koln, when the Borussians return to league action on Saturday.
Dortmund travelled away to Stadio Karaiskaki on Wednesday, October 19, for another Champions League Group F game. The Borussians were humbled by a 3-1 score line going against them, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 scoring their lone goal in the 26th minute.
The defeat means that Dortmund are yet to register a win in their Champions League campaign. With just one point under their belt from three games played, the Black Yellows are sitting bottom of the group behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Olympique Marseille and Olympiacos.
Klopp expressed disappointment at his team’s loss and is aiming to bounce back in the upcoming league game against FC Koln. He urged his side to concentrate harder on future assignments apart from mourning the loss to Thryios.
He also criticised his defence for being fragile and letting the Greek opponents go past them on three occasions. Holebas opened the scoring in the eighth minute, which was equalised by Lewandowski on the 26th minute mark. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafik-Djebbour-c30428 regained
lead for the home side and Francois Modesto sealed the victory in the 78th
minute.
The manager reckoned that his side missed numerous opportunities especially in the second half, accounting for the club’s loss. He thought that the Borussians could have got a point out of Wednesday’s game had Mario Gotze and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 hung on to their
chances.
While talking during the pre-match conference, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 boss further enthused, "It's very sobering. The goals were completely unnecessary. There wasn't enough concentration in key moments. We play nice football, but you just cannot concede those
goals."
He concluded his talks by adding: "There are still three games in the group. We will continue to try to earn points. We need to focus on making a better account of Dortmund in the Champions league."
The reigning German champions are currently third in the Bundesliga with 16 points from nine games, but there is a huge mountain to climb if they want to make it to the next round of the European competition.
