It was a step forward. \u201cWith the ball, definitely,\u201d said Julian Brandt in an interview with BVB-TV, going on to add: \u201cThe big flaw was our finishing.\u201d It had been very different on Saturday in the 4-3 win against Sundowns. While the chances created corresponded to 1.72 expected goals, clinical finishing resulted in four goals, a narrow 4-3 win and three important points. The opposite was true against Ulsan: Daniel Svensson\u2019s goal in the 36th minute was enough for a 1-0 win and the three points needed to win the group. The quality of the chances, resulting from 28 shots on goal to 3, should have led to 3.42 BVB goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could have put ourselves in a more comfortable position earlier,\u201d said Brandt. \u201cNevertheless, the lads did well, especially in thwarting counterattacks. We won the group and we\u2019re in the round of 16. That\u2019s all that matters.\u201d Niko Kovac took a similar view at the press conference. \u201cI\u2019m glad we managed to create significantly more chances than in the first two games,\u201d said the head coach. \u201cWe controlled the game and created good opportunities. In the second half, the temperatures contributed to us trying to wind the game down. All in all, we can be satisfied. We improved compared to the first two games. Now we\u2019re in first place, have an extra day to rest and then travel to Atlanta to play in a beautiful stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First place means one more day of recovery and preparation time. \u201cEspecially when it comes to the strain of travelling,\u201d says Brandt. \u201cWe\u2019re always flying back and forth for a day. Another plus point is that after two matches at midday and one at 15:00, Borussia Dortmund can now avoid the intense heat. Kick-off in Atlanta is at 21:00 local time. The forecast is for 24 degrees Celsius when BVB take on CF Monterrey, who finished second in Group E, on Tuesday evening (Wednesday, 03:00 CEST). The Mexicans drew both their matches against Inter Milan (1-1) and River Plate (0-0) and won their final group match 4-0 against Urawa Reds from Japan. Three goals were scored between the 30th and 39th minutes.<\/p>\n

On the flight back from Cincinnati to their base camp in Fort Lauderdale, the Borussia players watched the two games in the other group \u201cand then followed the final minutes of the game together in the hotel,\u201d sporting director Sebastian Kehl told kicker<\/i>: \u201cNow it\u2019s onto Monterrey on Tuesday evening in Atlanta, a team Borussia Dortmund have never played against before. We\u2019re up for it, we\u2019re taking on the challenge \u2013 and we\u2019re determined to progress to the next round.\u201d Daniel Svensson believes the team can do it: \u201cWe have to try to keep the tempo high throughout the game.\u201d Given that Atlanta will have temperatures more akin to those in Europe, playing at the usual tempo shouldn\u2019t be a problem...
