Champions League vs Copenhagen! Kyle: We have reviewed the game against Bayern and will focus on the next one

Dortmund Sports Director Kyle accepted an interview with the media before the team traveled to Copenhagen to participate in the third round of the Champions League group stage. He talked about the team's mentality after losing to Bayern, the goal against Copenhagen and the reunion with old player Mukoko.

After losing to Bayern, what is the team's current mentality?

This game has been reviewed and critically analyzed from both sides. We didn't play well in the first half and obviously did better in the second half. In the end we got nothing. Now our thoughts have turned to tomorrow and the game against Copenhagen. This is an important Champions League game for us and we want to win it no matter what. So, looking forward, we're very, very positive.

What did you learn from the game against Bayern?

We certainly took away some things that we could do better and have done significantly better over the past few weeks. But not every opponent is like Bayern, I think they are the benchmark in many aspects at the moment. Even so, we showed in the second half that we could contend and even could have taken a point at the end. But these things have been reviewed. We are now focused on tomorrow's game against Copenhagen and hope to do better in some areas there.

How does the team cope with the intensive schedule?

This is completely normal during these weeks. We have many, many games in the next few weeks, including some away games, for which we have prepared very focused and professionally. That's the rhythm we want. The atmosphere will be heated [in Copenhagen], but we know our task and we know where our opportunities lie.

What do you think of this game in Copenhagen?

Copenhagen currently has not achieved ideal results and is struggling a bit. But they are especially incredibly dangerous in the Champions League because it's a competition where the players are particularly committed. We played there a few years ago and it's not easy to get a foothold there, but I'm very, very confident. We are in a stable stage overall and most of the players are back, so we hope to have a good performance there tomorrow as well. We flew there to win - that's clear.

Considering the schedule, will the starting lineup be rotated?

Since there are many games waiting for us, the coach may make some rotations, which is completely normal. The team has enough depth, but the final decision will be announced by the coach tomorrow. No matter who plays, he will give his all.

This will be a reunion with former Dortmund forward Mukoko

Mukoko will of course always be a member of the Dortmund family in the past few years, and later he decided to take a new path for himself. Of course we're watching him. I'm curious if he starts tomorrow. Let's wait and see. There will certainly be a warm "greeting", but he will be equally committed to leading his team to victory tomorrow.
