"We can't afford to let our intensity drop off. The lads know that, and we're training accordingly. We're not allowing ourselves to think that 99% will be enough to get us what we're aiming for."
"They are capable of great things, especially at home in their fantastic stadium with its great atmosphere. That's why we have to give it our all and work hard to defeat our opponents. We have to play serious football there and not get caught up in the euphoria."
Borussia Dortmund's only remaining chance for silverware this season is the Bundesliga title, though they trail Bayern Munich by 11 points with seven matches left. Their title hopes suffered a significant setback following a 3-2 home defeat to Bayern, where they led and equalized with seven minutes remaining. This loss followed Dortmund's Champions League elimination by Atalanta in the play-off round. Head coach Niko Kovac emphasizes that his team cannot afford to drop intensity levels and must maintain maximum effort in every match. Facing Köln next, Kovac warns against complacency and mood swings, stressing the importance of serious, focused football to overcome their opponents.
