BVB coach Kovac after training starts: “100% ready” | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund have already completed performance testing to kick off the new season. The Black and Yellows have set themselves high goals and definitely want to play an important role.

There has already been some movement in the squad, and further changes are being planned. Konstantinos Karetsas, for example, is a hot topic. The Greek is expected to move to Dortmund, and negotiations with KRC Genk are ongoing.

After Karetsas, Dortmund want to sign one or two more players to prepare the squad for the challenges ahead.

Kovac heads into the new season with optimism

So far, it is mainly young players who have been added to the squad. Kaua Prates, Jefferson Lerma, and Joane Gadou have all joined the team so far. Much to Niko Kovac’s delight.

In an interview with the club’s official website, the Dortmund coach has now given his first assessment after the holiday break.

He can hardly wait for the new season to begin. “After eight weeks of holiday, it is perfectly clear that we are one hundred percent ready and that we are at a 10 on the scale. We’re looking forward to our sport and our job again. We want to attack again, we want to train again, we want to be successful again. And that’s why we’re happy that we’re all back together,” said the coach.

The World Cup participants will also gradually arrive in the coming days, and then Dortmund, who will play their first competitive match against Bayern Munich in the Supercup, can really get going.

Meanwhile, the integration of the new signings is supposed to happen as quickly as possible: “The lads who were already here know exactly what we focus on, what we need in order to be successful as a team and as a club. We will integrate the new players quickly. In football, things usually happen relatively quickly and very easily.”
