The Borussia Dortmund attacker is confident that his team has the quality to go far in the competition.
Die Borussen have had two successful seasons domestically but the team has failed to live up to expectations at the European stage. The team was knocked out of the group stage last season and ended up at the bottom of the table
behind the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Olympique Marseille and Olympiacos.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 is certain that his side will be able to live up to the expectations this time around and is aiming to do well in Europe’s premier club competition. The player, who joined Dortmund at the end of the previous season from
Borussia Monchengladbach, claimed that his teammates are very excited ahead of the start of the new season and is eager to give his all.
The German international is targeting to reach the knock-out stages of the competition in the upcoming season and is confident that his side will be able to achieve that feat.
“BVB represent their own unique philosophy and way of playing football. I have read while on vacation that my new team-mates have spoken about Champions League qualification [for the knockout stages] as a goal for the season, and
I agree fully with that conviction,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Reus admitted that Dortmund suffered a blow when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 departed for Manchester United earlier this summer, but is satisfied with the new players coming in and is certain that the team has only strengthened. He remains optimistic
of a hat-trick of league titles at the end of the next season and is looking forward to a successful campaign.
"We have many international players who have gained even more international experience [at Euro 2012], so the quality is definitely there. So, if we manage to play BVB's typical brand of football on the highest of stages, I'm very
optimistic,” he concluded.
Borussia Dortmund will start their Bundesliga campaign against Werder Bremen on Friday, August 24. The side will enter the next season in a bid to complete three league titles in a row which will be a unique feat.
