The Borussia Dortmund manager has insisted that the Dutch international is the best forward he has ever seen
Borussia Dortmund will take on Shakhtar Donetsk in the knock-out stages of the UEFA Champions League. The German champions have been in sensational form in Europe all season as they won the ‘Group of Death’ despite tough competition
from the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax Amsterdam.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 man is was
full of praise for the ability of the Dutch striker.
Van Persie has been in sensational form this season and the striker has scored 21 times for the Reds in 27 appearances in all competitions. His displays have put Manchester United in the driving seat for the Premier league title.
“Personally, when we played against Arsenal in London, I saw the best forward ever: Robin van Persie. I didn't know a player could play three positions during 90 minutes. It was a great experience – and we want to use that now,”
he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Klopp insisted that his side has been developing quickly over the past two years and praised the young players for their brilliant performances in the league and the Champions League. The manager added that the players are gradually
gaining experience over the period of time and is convinced that the team will perform better in the second half of the Bundesliga campaign.
“It is incredible how fast the development is going and how much the guys learn. We are such a young team. When we started in Europe three years ago, the average age was 22. We are now around 23.6, still young,” he concluded.
Borussia Dortmund have re-signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC but failed to live up to expectations and will now be part of Jurgen Klopp’s side
until the end of the season.
