Borussia Dortmund won confidently in Lisbon. Sports boss Lars Ricken hopes that the momentum from the premier class will come to the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund sent an important signal on Tuesday evening with the 3-0 win at Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. Nevertheless, nobody wanted to interpret too much for players and those responsible. Sports Managing Director Lars Ricken spoke of an “outstanding statement” of his club, but immediately focused on the next task in the Bundesliga. There, BVB will have to go to VfL Bochum on Saturday (from 3:30 p.m. in the T-Online Live Tickier).
Ricken explained: “Now it is important to really show the will to confirm that. The game now also check off, Bochum is waiting.” You have to take the self -confidence obtained and implement them directly. There was no trace of complacency in the cabin, Ricken said. Instead, the team has already started to concentrate on the duel with Bochum.
After the goals of Serhou Guirassy (60th minute), Pascal Groß (68.) and Karim Adeyemi (82nd), the question now arises how much swing Dortmund can actually take from the success in Lisbon. Coach Niko Kovač, for whom it was the first victory in the second game with the BVB, hopes for a positive effect for the self -confidence of his team.
