May 21st News Dortmund coach Kovac recently accepted an interview with the Sports Photos and talked about the team's performance.

Kovac said: "The team needs to experience both positive and negative experiences to truly get on the right track. For me, Dortmund's state reversal has two decisive moments. The first is the poor performance of losing to Augsburg at home 0-1. Although we had two consecutive wins in the league, this made us realize that we must change."

"The second turning point was the 3-1 victory over Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League. The team showed combat effectiveness beyond the expectations of the outside world. This victory made us realize our unity. What kind of miracles can we create in the city? "

"We respond to difficulties in an overall manner. From the first day, I have made it clear that we must maintain unity, build strong mutual trust, and insist on honest communication. We have all done these."

"The requirements I set are by no means unrealistic, but professional attitude, team spirit and desire to win are uncompromising bottom lines. It is gratifying that every player is willing to move forward side by side with us."
