Kovac: Barely winning fourth last season is not Dortmund s goal, we cannot relax in the new season

Hupu September 10th despite the brilliant results in the Bundesliga last season, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac still warned the team not to stagnate. He believes that this is an important foundation for Dortmund's further development.

Kovac said: "I like cautious words - I would rather say earlier than later. In fact, we performed very well last season under the last pressure, which was strong, but now everything is back to the starting point. Some people may think: it will be a breeze, but we must not make such a mistake, thinking that it can be achieved with less effort."

Kovac emphasized: "For Dortmund, the most important thing now is to maintain stability, which is a hot topic between the team and the media. We want to make the Club World Cup The steady state during the period brings to the new Bundesliga season, further consolidating what we have achieved. But that won't stop there."

Kovac said: "We barely finished fourth last season, which is not our goal. As mentioned earlier, the danger is that we may relax in the new season. But we cannot bear such consequences and we must immediately come out in the best form."

Kovac said that under his leadership, the physical condition of Dortmund players has improved significantly, but there is still room for improvement. “Physical fitness is one of the factors that play great, attractive and passionate football. If I can’t maintain a certain intensity, I lack concentration, coordination, and everything I need in almost every aspect of the game,” the Dortmund coach explained.
