None of you should rest

The new Dortmund stands for first-class entertainment. What did you enjoy most?
the team wants to attack, and forward-oriented. We want to shape the game, we don't want it to dominate, even if it is not always possible. Sometimes, the backup of the Defensive stands in the foreground.

rivals as atlético's Diego Simeone rave about the Dortmund performances.
This is all well and good. Please don't forget nevertheless, that we had against Atlético for a long time only 1:0. The opponent had the post and crossbar shots. As a coach, I not only look at the result, the big picture counts as well. But of course, we defeated a big team that is playing in the European Cup for years at the top.

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund is shaking the supremacy of Bayern Munich.
It is very good for the League, multiple Teams to play at the top. There are no easy games, with the exception of the game against Nürnberg (7:0). This balance I find important.

How do you interpret the output?
Bayern will increase, I expect you to. However, there are not only Munich. Gladbach is dangerous, Leipzig, Hoffenheim can also intervene again. There are a lot of ambitious Teams. It can go in both directions quickly.

you enough in the summer for a few weeks, the Team to rebuild significantly. How did this reorientation?
We had to work at the beginning of the System. Nowadays, you should be proficient in several variants, to avoid any risk of playful Blockade. I have been working for a long time, so – as a Coach of Echallens, I decided to play tactically variable.

In Dortmund, the Plan went on without delay.
at the beginning it was difficult until we found the right solution. In such cases, Details are often crucial, self-confidence swells. Sometimes a Nuance changes everything. That is exactly why we should stay reasonable.

But, again: The tag ran out in a hurry.
Normally it takes periods, at least two, three to Transfer to a team in a building. The club looks the most similar to me. And of course one hopes as a coach, not to lose key players. The skeleton stands, the collective harmony.

you Need to come in the coming weeks, primarily on the euphoria brake?
We simply should not forget how often the games are tight. Again and again we were. In Leverkusen, for example, 0:2, at home against Augsburg, turn to 4:3, we managed to be late. We still have much to do, is no invention of mine – it is the truth.

And still: The Fans feel the best most days reminds. How do you perceive the Ambiance?
Every Coach is interested in the fact that the players are satisfied that you train hard and properly, ready to be extra for a couple of layers. You should have Fun, after an uncomfortable unit. Honest work, intensity, everything else is then a bonus.

In Munich they discuss again and again, to the BVB, there was no side show.
We have success, then all is usually well. A quiet sequel begins with a concentrated preparation; no one is allowed to rest. All my players have the potential to make further progress – technically, tactically, physically, mentally.

"With a quiet kind of moving Manuel Akanji extremely Positive. Manuel played a chief role."Lucien Favre

Where can you get air to the top?
Defensively, we can solve a few things better. But that's normal, two of the four defenders are very young. Zagadou is 19, Hakimi 20. Our Team is generally marked by talent – even Sancho is only 18 years old, you must never forget that. The boys can't play 10 to 15 games in a row on the same Level.

How much it hurts, the injury-related loss of Manuel Akanji?
It is a great loss. In his quiet way he moved extremely a lot of Positives. Manuel Akanji has role a Chef.

A towered in his first Bundesliga-half of the year: Axel Witsel.
He plays correctly, and he gives us rest. His experience is good for us. Also, the Routine of Reus, Götze or Piszczek is important for the Balance in the Team.

With Reus and Piszczek they worked together previously to successfully.
Yes, I know you in Detail. Reus can provide in each Situation for the difference. Piszczek came during my time in Berlin (2007 to 2009) to start on the wing, till I took a Test a defender. We worked him – it worked. (laughs)

your Keeper Roman Bürki reduces the workload and withdraws temporarily from the national team. His decision is understandable for them?
That is his right, I can understand him. The novel also needs to pay attention to his body. For the game with his focus on the Club is good.

power Borussia Dortmund is enormous. How do you imagine the exchange with personalities such as Hans-Joachim Watzke, Sebastian Kehl, Matthias Sammer or head of sports, Michael Zorc?
In the big Clubs is such a personal statement is normal. I am not using any of these contacts equally often in contact with Michael Zorc and I consider myself the most. For me it is good and important to maintain the exchange. You should have as a Coach, never felt, to know everything. (SDA)
