"I am a football coach, and it is not the end of this play-off, just the first half. As coach you have to try to give the players that self-confidence."
"These players are players of high quality, but at the moment the head is the key factor. We have to multiply those in matches."
Niko Kovac has called on Borussia Dortmund to overcome recent struggles to bolster their confidence before facing Sporting CP in the Champions League play-off second leg. After a disappointing 2-0 loss to Bochum, Dortmund sits at 11th in the Bundesliga. Kovac noted the importance of self-confidence, transformative training, and building upon past wins to achieve success. He acknowledged the quality present in the squad but stressed mental strength being a crucial factor in their performance going forward, particularly as they aim to progress in the Champions League after a successful first leg.
