BVB, News – Gregor Kobel: “Championship is always an issue at BVB”
Although BVB has so far kept a low profile when it comes to the championship, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel addressed the topic directly.

Kobel therefore explained in an interview with sky: “When you play for Dortmund, the championship is always an issue.”
Looking back, after the 4-2 defeat against Mönchengladbach on matchday 15, things didn’t look so rosy for BVB, as Kobel admitted. Since then, however, the situation has changed noticeably: “You play football – especially at a club like this – because you naturally want to win titles. That’s why the championship title is always on your mind.”
That brings Kobel to the conclusion: “Now we’ve won eight games and we’re back in action. That’s fun. These games that are coming up now are the games that you look forward to as a player and are the most exciting for the fans. “
But in order to actually become champions, consistency is required above all, as Kobel also knows: “There isn’t a game that we can leave something in all of a sudden, but we have to start every game anew and the three of us points to get.”
