Reactions to the 1-0 win over Wolfsburg: “The team looks solid and intense” | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund has continued to build on their good start to the season, securing points eight to ten with a 1-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg on matchday four. Understandably, the mood afterwards was good and the interim balance was positively assessed.

"We are up front with ten points after four games. We have established ourselves at the top. The team appears stable and intense. What we set out to do, to collect points right at the start of the season, is working out very well at the moment," said Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl on the club's website, also pleased about the second place in the table and the laid foundation for a successful playing year.

Coach Niko Kovac was also in high spirits, not least because of the successful comeback of Nico Schlotterbeck, who surprisingly even lasted the full 90 minutes on the field: "I'm happy that we won, that we kept a clean sheet, that Schlotti lasted 90 minutes," said the BVB coach, who generally sees good development, particularly in defensive behavior: "We were fresh, we were energetic, and we hardly allowed anything. We deservedly won the game, we would of course have liked to win by a larger margin against a good, structured Wolfsburg team. The boys are continuously improving, even if there will be setbacks. But the path is consistently forward."

Schlotterbeck looks at FC Bayern

Returnee Schlotterbeck, meanwhile, was somewhat mourning the two points left behind on the first matchday, but with a view to the league leader, he also let Borussia's big ambitions shine through: "If we hadn't had those ten minutes in Pauli, we would have had four out of four. Now we're moving forward step by step. The important thing is to keep up with Bayern."

Goal scorer Karim Adeyemi, finally, left no doubt that the match found the right winner: "It was a very good first half. We had many chances, only scored one goal, but didn't let anything burn defensively and deservedly won."
