Video: Dortmund sporting director on 'emotional' Klopp

German Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund look to bounce back from their midweek UEFA Champions League defeat to Napoli when they return to domestic action against Nuremburg on Saturday (21st September).

(On behavior of coach Klopp during match in Naples) Michael Zorc, Borussia Dortmund sporting director, said: “Klopp’s behaviour was not ok, but it happened. That is Juergen, he is a very emotional person who is always 100 percent dedicated, that’s just how it is.”

(On reserve goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak breaking two teeth against Napoli) Michael Zorc said: “Mitchell Langerak crashed into the bar with his face at 2-0. Two teeth broke off, but he did find them again. He is now on his way to the dentist. That is being repaired now and then he will be there for us again. You have to say honestly it was not a good evening.”

(On Nuremburg game) Michael Zorc said: “On the whole, in the last few years the matches in Nuremberg were never easy for us. Generally we had success and sometimes we had a draw in the last few years. That will be the challenge again. Back from the away game in the Champions League, without the feeling of success, going back to the Bundesliga again. That will be the challenge to our team, going into the match again with 100 percent concentration. We want to keep on collecting points and want to stay league leaders on Sunday evening again. That is our aim, that is totally clear.”
