After a friendly match against Juventus, Dortmund goalkeeper Kober said in an interview that the team was very tired this week.

About the match against Juventus

- You can notice that our match is not as energetic and rhythm as last week (versus Lille) or the end of last season. We were really tired this week and we trained very well. Despite this, we played well in the first 20 minutes and controlled the game, but then you can feel the fatigue of our legs.

About playing alongside Hummels - He played the last game and I was so happy for him that I've never seen him as nervous as he is today. He played a good game, especially considering that he has been out for so long.

About the areas where improvements are needed before the Cup - it's hard to point out exactly, we didn't run as usual. Once or twice we were slowing down our defense, leaving too much room for these small things to have a big impact. All the training and game time helped us so much, now we have a few days to take a breath and I know everything will be OK.

About the goal of the new season

- We always want to play at our best, whether on the training ground or in the game. We must keep moving forward and hope to continue to maintain the aggressiveness and intensity of last season in a holistic way. With this intensity and focus on running, other things will come naturally because this is the foundation.
