Director Dortmund: I won t shout that the goal is to win the championship, but I hope it won t be the last round to enter the top four

July 27th Dortmund will start the team training camp on Monday, and sports director Ricken was interviewed by "Kickers".

■About the new season goal

Ricken said: "I certainly won't shout out the championship as a goal, but I hope the team can enter the top four, and it won't be achieved until the 34th round."

■In the current transfer window, the team's lineup will be moderately adjusted

"We will not rebuild again after 25-man roster changes last season. The team does need targeted reinforcement, but it won't be ten, eight, or even six."

■About the signing strategy

"In the next few days and weeks, there may be some moves in two or three positions."

■Ricken said that coach Kovac has brought stability to Dortmund in the past few months.

"The coaches and the team have stood the test under the current configuration."

■The team is not in a hurry to renew Kovac's contract

"We will not be influenced by public opinion, we are very relaxed and will handle it at our own pace."

■The team performed strongly at the end of the season

Riken emphasized: "Everyone must realize that we cannot relax now, everything will start from scratch."
