Xinhua News Agency, Berlin, July 5 (Wei Yi) the Bundesliga Dortmund club conducted its first public training since preparing for the new season on the 5th. Club sports director Zork was interviewed by the media here.
After returning to Dortmund from Bayern this summer, former captain Humels appeared in public view for the first time on the court and immediately became the focus of media attention. Regarding the return of hummers’, Zork said: “He is the best German central defender in my eyes. He has proved himself in Bundesliga and international matches for many years. We expect him to play a leading role on the court.”
In addition to Humels, Dortmond also introduced players such as Little Azar, Schultz and Brant this summer. At present, the number of Dortmund players is too large, and the situation of players transferring out is also a concern of the media. Zork did not disclose specific information about this, but said that there would definitely be players moving away in the next few weeks. At the same time, Zork stressed: “Without the best number of players, one or more players is not decisive.”
On late May this year, Watzke, CEO of Dortmund club, publicly shouted out the goal of competing for the Championship next season. Zork said: “This is not a feeling, nor is it the goal that the club’s top executives impose on the team. This wish comes from the team and is the common aspiration of all of us. The past season has inspired us and we are one step closer to the peak. We must continue to work hard to win the Bundesliga championship.”
