Kovac: Dortmund Has Improved Since My Arrival
Niko Kovac, the head coach of Borussia Dortmund, says he is happy that the team has made significant progress since his arrival.
According to reports, in the 32nd week of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund will host Wolfsburg tomorrow. Niko Kovac attended the pre-match press conference and answered journalists’ questions. This match is crucial for Dortmund, who are fighting for a UEFA Champions League spot.
What is the status of the players for tomorrow’s match?
It appears that Maximilian Beier will not be in the squad tomorrow. The rest of the players, except for Nico Schlotterbeck, are available.
Julian Brandt’s performance?
I have always seen Julian as a good player, or at least consistent. Recently, he needed rest. In the match against Hoffenheim, he had excellent moments that showed his quality. I hope he performs similarly in the next three games.
Importance of the match against Wolfsburg?
We are fully aware of the importance of tomorrow’s match. This game is worth three very important points for us. Wolfsburg is very dangerous in away matches, and we must be careful. We want to create momentum again with the support of our fans to make things difficult for the opponent.
How do you manage the situation given the competition for qualification?
Naturally, our fate depends on the results of other matches. But we must do our job and go into the game with the same energy we have shown in recent weeks.
How has Dortmund changed since your arrival?
When I arrived, the team’s situation was not easy. But since then, the players have made excellent progress. If we achieve our goals at the end of the season, we will be very satisfied.
