Kyle: Dortmund was too passive in the first half, but he has exceeded his goal by advancing to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup

In the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, Dortmund lost to Real Madrid 2-3 and missed the semi-finals. After the game, Dortmund sports director Kyle was interviewed.

Kyle first said: "In the second half, we made the game suspense again, we tried everything to the last minute. If we looked at the performance in the second half, we could have done better. But throughout the game, especially in the first half, we did not do enough. We were too passive and easily scored two goals by our opponents."

Kyle continued: "The disappointment prevails now, but from another perspective, we can also be proud of ourselves for reaching the top eight of the Club World Cup. The team went all out in this game and left their mark. Therefore, we also have a lot of positive aspects, we exceeded our scheduled goals. In addition, we also tried to establish the image of the Dortmund club in the United States, and we did a good job in this regard."
