Kovac: Bayer will stay in Dortmund; due to shortage of staff, Anselmino s debut weekend

Hupu, August 29, Dortmund coach Kovac attended the pre-match press conference against Berlin United.

Apart from Schlottbeck, Zhan and Jule, are there any other stars absent?

"Julian Ryerson resumes training in two weeks. He took the first step today and will train as usual tomorrow, so he can at least serve as a substitute for the team's central defender position this weekend.

Filippo Mane is suspended from the red card and cannot be the center back. We will likely fill this position with (Anselmino). Apart from that, everyone except Schlottbeck, Jule, Jane and Duranville are considering it."

Kovac talks about Fabio Silva

"There is no new news at the moment, so we cannot comment on personnel issues."

Kovac talks about contract renewal

"I think the club has made it clear that we want to renew. We agree, so we can complete the contract renewal relatively easily, and without a big fanfare. Both sides showed mutual trust and wanted to establish some cooperation. This was fully reflected in the contract renewal."

Kovac talks about Chuk Umeka and Anselmino

"We are very happy Chuk Umeka can return, he has been playing in our team before and left for a month and a half. He quickly adapted to the team and understood how the team works.

As for Aaron Anselmino, he is indeed a newcomer with great potential, but his recent appearance time is not as he expected. We have seen his abilities in training and is an expansion of the Argentina national team The latter member. He needs some time to get used to it. He speaks English well;

and none of us speak Spanish, or we can only speak a little bit. In terms of language, we still need to find common ground. We want to give him a crash lesson to let him know the way we want to play. He is an Argentinian and has a strong tackle ability. "

Talking about Berlin United

"I don't think the game six months ago was used as a benchmark. At that time, Berlin United's team was Rong is a four-back. Now they are obviously three-back or five-back, and there are two very strong forwards. It will be a completely different game. The Berliners start to win and end up with a draw, and we know how difficult this game will be.

Berlin United's physical confrontation is very intense and we have to deal with it with physical confrontation. It is not easy to find a solution through the game alone. In football, we also scored three wonderful goals in Hamburg. "

Kovage talks about Maximilian Baier "We don't need to discuss rumors, they are just rumors. Baier is an important part of our team and an excellent German genius. He feels comfortable here and I don't want him to leave."

Kovage talks about Schlottbeck and Jule

" They both have progress. Things look better, but the specific situation is not yet confirmed. They are on the right track. Next question Yes, it takes some time to get involved during international match days and start training again. As long as there is no setback, we are satisfied with the status quo."

Kovage talks about Brandt

"I have explained why Julian Brandt was not on the court. I am very satisfied with him and need a substitute. This is also happening to us and Carney Chukvimeca. Brandt showed us that he can give in the game against Essen and St. Pauli. We bring the depth of the lineup.

Julian is a very important part of the team. With these players joining, our current roster is getting thicker. "

Kovac talks about the match against St. Pauli. "The shortest route to the goal is from the middle. When the opponent completely blocks the middle, it is obvious that it is difficult for you to break through. You have to find other routes. Then you have to break through the wing. It also depends on the opponent; St. Pauli doesn't give us any space."
