BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl spoke after the disappointing zero number at the start of the club World Cup against Fluminenense plain text and made the players responsible. Before the next group game on Saturday in Cincinnati (6 p.m./Sat.1 and DAZN) against Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa, the 45-year-old demanded a significant increase in performance.
“We also have to deliver the next game,” said Kehl in Fort Lauderdale in the Dortmund training camp at Inter Miami. According to his own statement, after the return from New Jersey, where Borussia had played 0-0 against Fluminense in East Rutherford on Tuesday, he had many one -on -one interviews and made it clear to the players that “we have to increase”. “The game showed us that we have to stretch ourselves,” said Kehl, who added to the address of the players: “I am very confident that we will do the next two games better.”
The last group opponent will be again in Cincinnati Ulsan HD from South Korea on Wednesday, which had lost 0-1 at the start of Mamelodi. Despite the weak performance against fluminense, BVB coach Niko Kovac is confident that two wins are drawn into the round of 16. “It was important to take this one point with the group constellation,” admitted Kehl.

Despite the time shift, the sports director also works hard on the squad. “My alarm clock rings very, very early a day. Of course, I try to take the European time with me and to do my homework here before breakfast and the processes here on site,” Kehl gave an insight. He should be in an exchange, especially with Chelsea FC.
The blues continue to sign Jamie Gitten (20), the last offer of 55 million euros is said to have only been 10 million from the BVB claim. The “Ruhr news“According to the Dortmund, the Dortmund is very confident that there will be an agreement in the desired height in the next few weeks.” We have had one or two conversations in the past few days. He is professional enough that he knows that he has to perform. This is also important in his nature. Jamie is still important for us in this tournament. And everything that comes afterwards will see him.

In addition, the discussions with Chelsea are about loan Carney Chukwuemeka (21), whose contract ends at BVB on June 30-in the middle of the course of the club World Cup. But everything is also open to the personnel. “No decision has yet been made,” confirms Kehl, who also processes other topics in the squad “and for players who are currently not there”.
This means, among other things, the Sébastien Haller (30) and Youssoufa Moukoko (20). Both have no future at BVB. FC Utrecht would like to keep Haller, but the Eredivisie club can offer a maximum of 500,000 euros in salary a year. Haller collects a whopping 9 million euros at the Dortmund. Moukoko, who is leaving OGC Nice again, is difficult to convey at 6 million euros. “But there is still some time,” says Kehl, “the transfer window is still open for a very long time” – until September 1st.
