Niko Kovac has called on Borussia Dortmund to overcome recent struggles to bolster their confidence before facing Sporting CP in the Champions League play-off second leg. After a disappointing 2-0 loss to Bochum, Dortmund sits at 11th in the Bundesliga. Kovac noted the importance of self-confidence, transformative training, and building upon past wins to achieve success. He acknowledged the quality present in the squad but stressed mental strength being a crucial factor in their performance going forward, particularly as they aim to progress in the Champions League after a successful first leg.
I am a football coach, and it is not the end of this play-off, just the first half. As coach you have to try to give the players that self-confidence.
These players are players of high quality, but at the moment the head is the key factor. We have to multiply those in matches.
