Following sporting director Sebastian Kehl (43), Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic (40) has also openly stated that winning the Bundesliga title is his goal.

“We are closer than ever to the championship trophy. And we don’t want to let this chance slip away,” said Terzic ahead of the game against Eintracht Frankfurt (Saturday, 6:30 p.m./Sky) about the long-distance duel with record champions Bayern Munich.

With six games left to play, BVB is two points behind Munich, so the team can’t afford any more slip-ups like the recent one at VfB Stuttgart. “We should start as soon as possible to grab this chance with everything we have. To make it come true,” Terzic said. After the disappointing 3:3 against the Swabians, Dortmund is going into the season’s final spurt “with a portion of anger,” but the coach also warned, “We must not channel our anger the wrong way. “

For the match against Frankfurt, there is still a “question mark” behind central defenders Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck, as well as striker Anthony Modeste. “They could already increase the intensity in training, we have to wait and see,” said Terzic.

Kehl had directed a clear announcement to Munich during the week in an interview with the Ruhr Nachrichten. “We want to become German champions,” the manager said, “We haven’t lost sight of our goal of winning the title. “
