Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp insisted that his team needs to show total commitment to surpass their dominance in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 and fare better in Europe.
The Bundesliga season is due to start next month and Dortmund face an uphill task of retaining their league and cup title. They begin their defence of the German cup against FC Oberneuland on 18 August, but Die Borussen’s priority
this season is to improve in the UEFA Champions League campaign after a group stage exit last season.
Die Schwarzgelben coach suggested that he was pleased with the pre-season proceedings and is happy that the players are gelling together. The players are back from the European Championships 2012 and vacations. They will have to
train hard and regain their full fitness to show consistency for the start of the upcoming campaign.
“We're quite happy with how everyone is getting along individually. The players who took part in the EURO are back with us so by the time the season starts, the whole squad will be at a consistently high level,” the manager was
quoted saying in an interview.
Klopp further said that new signings have settled well as they have a young side with a friendly environment that it’s easy to fit in. He told that he acquired players who are exceptionally good and have strong personalities. The
former German footballer confirmed that they will not be looking to sign any more players.
“We have a young team with a good temperament throughout, so newcomers find it easy to integrate. No, as things stand we'll be going into the new season with the current squad,” he stated.
The 45-year-old conceded that the team camp is very focused and dedicated to perform their best because they will have to repeat their title winning performances all over again.
“What's important is that everyone concentrates, and is 100% dedicated to the cause. After all, we start the season with nothing,” he concluded.
Dortmund start their season with the German cup first round match and the tactician stressed that the competition is amazing to be a part of. Moreover, they are not looking ahead of their first match with Oberneuland but want to
go a long way in the competition.
