1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th News Dortmund Director Sebastian Kyle attended the team press conference and looked forward to the upcoming Club World Cup and the expectations for new player Job Bellingham.
——Performance in the Bundesliga in the past season
Kyle: “We did a very critical analysis because we went through different stages this season. I think the sprint at the end of the season is very, very good, but there are also some stages in the season that are unsatisfactory. We will use the Club World Cup to continue to solve these problems. I believe that the prospects are not bad in terms of the current coaching and team configuration, and the goals we can finally achieve.”
——Team coach Kovac and future planning
Kyle: “If you look back over the past few weeks, he has made this team have great potential. He has improved the level of individual players, some players who may have been criticized for a long time have rejuvenated. Of course, we are thinking together what else we can do and what aspects can we adjust? For this reason we have a long transfer window, from July 1 to the end of August. But for now, we are very satisfied with the roster and although it is a pity that one or two players are not able to compete in the Club World Cup, we still feel that we have a strong enough roster.”
——The team’s new player Job Bellingham
Kyle: “He is very open, curious and has a clear mind. He knows the club for a while and has trained with us, so he can play immediately and make our roster stronger. We all believe that with his physicality, character, winner mentality, athleticism, and his development potential, he will make us better. He provides us with the opportunity to invest in young players again. Investing in young players this summer is a clear idea in our minds. There is only one opinion at the club: do everything possible to sign Job for Dortmund. It’s not easy, but in the end we succeeded. It shows that the club is still very strong in this field and still attractive.”
——Planning of the Club World Cup
Kyle: “We allLooking forward to this event, it is great to be one of the two German teams participating. We have worked hard for this over the past few years and it will attract attention from the sports community and bring us financial benefits. Of course, we have to try to start from the perspective of the new season, and we have actually prepared as much as possible for it: whether it is here (Germany) or local (US), we are working hard to adjust the pace and create the best conditions for good results in this event. After that, we will have a few days off and then turn our focus to the new season. But our lineup is large enough and excellent enough to deal with this challenge. ”
——The goal of the Club World Cup
Kyle: “First of all, we hope to qualify in the group and enter the top 16. Then let’s see who will meet as an opponent. In theory, it could be Inter Milan, and in the quarterfinals, it could be Real Madrid or Manchester City. So we will face European teams. Still, it’s a very exciting event. Let’s see where this event will eventually take us, but we want to go as far as possible”
