With seven games to go before the end of the season, Borussia Dortmund is only two points behind leaders FC Bayern in the Bundesliga. The hopes are high at BVB that in 2022/2023 there will still be something with the first German championship in eleven years. BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl is still a long way from giving up the dream of the title.
Although he conceded that the forthcoming away hurdle next Saturday at the reinvigorated VfB Stuttgart (from 3:30 p.m.) was anything but easy to take, he nevertheless made it clear on the black and yellow YouTube channel: “We want to keep at it. “
Kehl formulated his clear ideas for the Dortmund pros, who had recently freed themselves from a minor crisis with the important 2-1 home win against 1. FC Union Berlin: “My expectations of the boys are that we do everything for it in every game do and believe in it. We’re only two points away from Bayern Munich. We’ve rarely been that close in the last few years in this constellation. That’s why we have to focus on every game and show that we’re not slack off again.”
The 43-year-old is convinced that the Westphalians can start “another winning streak” in the final phase of the season: “Then we can stay tuned until the end and make it exciting for the league.”
Regardless of the last seven matches in the German football league, Borussia Dortmund is currently pushing ahead with squad planning for the coming season.

After the premature extension of the contract with national player Julian Brandt this week, sports director Kehl hopes to be able to make further firm announcements soon.
“It’s logical that there are also personnel decisions at this stage of the season. We’ve been in talks with some of them for months. I have hope that we’ll take a step forward and achieve more clarity in the next few days,” he said former captain of Dortmund Borussia.
He is currently “very confident that we have the right ideas for the future.”
Among other things, Borussia Dortmund is currently negotiating further joint cooperation with its veteran stars Mats Hummels and Marco Reus.
