The Borussia Dortmund defender is looking forward to a highly competitive season next term and is confident of success.
Die Borussen have won two back to back Bundesliga titles and will be bidding to complete a hat-trick of league victories when they enter the next season. The club have been busy this summer in acquiring some of the best players
to make sure they match the quality of their counterparts.
Subotic claimed that Dortmund are not afraid of Bayern Munich in the next season after recent claims that the Bavarian giants will enter the season as favourites to win the title. He insisted that his side respects Bayern, but
refused to name the UEFA Champions League finalists as the only contenders to win the Bundesliga.
The Serbian international has set his sights on Champions League qualification and regards it as a prime target for the upcoming season.
“We are not afraid of Bayern, but we respect them. We know that it will be the most difficult season for us. It is the first time we have proclaimed the goal of qualifying for the Champions League as our main target,” he was quoted
as saying in an interview.
The centre-back stressed that the Bundesliga will certainly not be a two horse race next season as it has been for the past two years. He claimed that the likes of Schalke and Borussia Monchengladbach have also strengthened their
side this summer and will be up for the challenge.
Subotic added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 and Werder Bremen have also made some quality additions and will be teams to watch out for.
“Gladbach have just got a striker [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956 from Twente] for €15m and Wolfsburg and Bremen have also strengthened. I think there are at least eight teams who want to compete with us,” he concluded.
