Transfer worries? Kovac reassures BVB fans | OneFootball

Niko Kovac remains relaxed despite open transfer questions and demands deeds instead of words from his team. Borussia Dortmund carefully examines reinforcements and does not let itself be put under pressure.

Borussia Dortmund remains calm despite the still open transfer questions. Head coach Niko Kovac emphasizes that calmness and reason have top priority when it comes to possible reinforcements. "We are absolutely calm," explained the 53-year-old. It's not just about finding the right player, but also the right moment for a transfer: "You can't make quick jumps there, but you have to approach it with reason and not with your heart and emotions."

This summer, BVB has only signed two external newcomers, Jobe Bellingham and Patrick Drewes. In addition, the previously loaned players Daniel Svensson and Yan Couto were signed permanently. Kovac shows understanding for the impatience of the fans, but emphasizes: "There is no unrest on our part." Striker Fábio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers is currently being traded as a potential newcomer, while the defense is particularly in focus in view of the injuries of Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, and Niklas Süle.

Before the start of the season: BVB coach Kovac remains relaxed

Kovac approaches the new season relaxed and wants to evaluate the team's performance only after several games. "The first matchday is important, but only after six games can you really say something," he explained. Despite the injuries of the key players, Kovac is optimistic: The situation with outside defender Yan Couto looks "amazingly good". However, there is still a question mark behind Julian Ryerson.

With a view to the season opener against FC St. Pauli, the Croatian emphasizes the challenge: "Last season, St. Pauli conceded little and overall received the second-fewest goals. That will be a tough nut, not an easy game." The team must focus, be physically present, and show the footballing qualities it has at the right time.

Niko Kovac makes it clear that Borussia Dortmund wants to carefully examine transfers and not be put under pressure. "We are still investigating," says the coach. The basic attitude in the club is clear: keep calm, act patiently, and approach the new season step by step.
