Freiburg (dpa) – Sports director Sebastian Kehl is more confident about the difficult Champions League game at Paris Saint-Germain after Borussia Dortmund’s 4:2 (1:2) win at SC Freiburg. “I wouldn’t say that this team is at 100 percent at the moment. But it can still do more,” said the 43-year-old after BVB’s hard-fought second win of the season in the Bundesliga on Saturday. “But I think we have taken a real step forward.”
In Paris on Tuesday, the runner-up would certainly have to “show a really good performance in order to survive there and survive in this difficult group,” explained Kehl. Even at PSG, “everything doesn’t seem to be 100 percent good at the moment,” he also said, referring to the top French club’s 2-3 defeat against OGC Nice in the league on Friday. After Paris, AC Milan and Newcastle United are Dortmund’s other preliminary round opponents in the premier class.
He was somewhat “relieved,” said Kehl after BVB’s victory in Freiburg. As a result of the embarrassing 2:2 (2:0) draw against promoted team 1. FC Heidenheim two weeks ago, there would have been a few “more restless days”. “We knew that we had to deliver today,” explained Kehl in the catacombs of Freiburg’s Europa-Park Stadium. “We can still play better football, but we have done many things better.” After the volatile game, the sports director particularly emphasized that Borussia had scored four goals and turned a deficit.
