The head coach of Dortmund’s Borussia, Niko Kovac commented on the result of the first quarter-final match of the Champions League with Barcelona.
Niko Kovac (photo: uefa.com)— We need to defend as a team. If we do not do this intensively against teams with more than one world-class player, it will be too difficult. I saw that my players ran a lot, worked hard, and created several goal-scoring opportunities.
Raising the team’s morale? Defeats are always painful, especially heavy ones. But I saw some good things, and now my job is to convey this to my players. We will meet Bayern in the Bundesliga away on Saturday, and they are about the same level as Barcelona. Overall, in the next two matches, we need to significantly improve our defensive actions, — said Kovac.
