After a disappointing season, Borussia Dortmund can still hope for the qualification for the Champions League. An expert has made a change from BVB coach Niko Kovac.

Borussia Dortmund ranks three points behind the Champions League places in the Bundesliga after four wins from the last five games.

In his eyes, BVB head coach Niko Kovac has “changed” in the past few weeks, said Markus Babbel on Sunday in the “Doppelpass” at “Sport1”. After his start in February, the trainer “spoke very praise about his players and wanted to talk them strongly. Then he somehow noticed that it didn’t work at all,” said the TV expert.

According to Babbel, the “key” at Borussia Dortmund is to “go after performance”.

BVB celebrates late victory against Hoffenheim

The BVB had secured three points on Saturday afternoon in a dramatic away game at TSG Hoffenheim (3-2) in added time.

“It’s a roller coaster ride,” Kovac then looked back at “Sky”. “We actually have the game under control, lead 1-0, then shoot the penalty. After that we no longer come into the duels. In the second half it gets better, we don’t do the goal, actually beging that a cross racket would go in. After the 2: 2, what is that? At 3: 2 it was exactly the downside of the medal.

“We are now attacking for the Champions League,” said BVB captain Emre Can: “This is our goal. We cannot say now that we don’t want to play internationally next year.
