The Black Yellows’ team trainer stressed that his side have been in great run of form and have maintained momentum to do well after the winter break, as they are currently third in the rankings
Reigning German champions’ Borussia Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp insisted that the club are prepared to return to winning ways following the end of the winter break. The Bundesliga outfit are placed third in the league
table and will look forward to defend their title after the league resumes.
The Bundesliga winners’ 3-1 triumph against Hoffenheim guaranteed that they would trail league leaders’ Bayern Munich by 12 points until the restart of the campaign after the winter break. The boss claimed that the side is
among the frontrunners for the league championship and that has set a good setup for the rest of the term.
"We are there in the leading group. This is a good basis for the rest of the season,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 05 striker was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician further added that his men have done well in the first half of the season. He stated that last year they had secured 34 points in the Bundesliga compared to 30 this campaign, but have improved their UEFA Champions
League form.
"The team played a very successful first round of the campaign,” the 2008 DFL-Supercup champion added.
The BVB exited last year’s edition of the Champions League with just four points, but finished top of their group this term ahead of big European clubs such as Real Madrid, Ajax and Manchester City.
"(At this stage) last year we had 34 points in the league and four in the Champions League. Now it's 30 domestically, but 14 in Europe," the 2012 DFB-Pokal winner mused.
"People will probably still be talking about this year in 50 years' time," chief executive Hans Joachim Watzke finally concluded.
The German club have secured 77 league points in 2012 which is the highest in the team’s history. Moreover, they also have a perfect record in the German Cup and qualified for the quarter-final by beating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492 5-1.
The Borussians will play Bayern Munich in the last eight of the competition.
