BVB coach Rose on underestimating his opponent Fürth: “That would be stupid”

Coach Marco Rose from Borussia Dortmund can not imagine underestimating the bottom of the table SpVgg Greuther Fürth on Wednesday (8.30 p.m.). “Borussia Dortmund are expected to win. It would be stupid if we had a player in the team who underestimated the opponent. That would be stupid!”

The coach explicitly praised the work of his colleague Stefan Leitl at the Franconians. “I think Fürth does it very well with Stefan Leitl. It’s not easy to find gaps,” said the Borussia coach at the press conference before the duel in Signal Iduna Park.

Rose continued: “Despite the point constellation: It’s a dangerous team, the guys are fighting back, are there. They got a kick from their first home win. They have a very good coach, a good idea, won’t let them get down.”

Rose will probably have to do without Donyell Malen and Raphael Guerreiro. Both of them have not yet trained with the team, said the black and yellow coach. “At Guerreiro it will be very close. Malen had a real infection. It ran yesterday, we have to see what is possible today.”

In the Europa League, BVB was drawn against Glasgow Rangers in the second round on Tuesday. Rose said: “An exciting lot, a great club. I think these are always exciting duels, great fans. We hope that it can then also take place with fans.”
