adminBERLIN. — Germany international Kevin Grosskreutz insists Borussia Dortmund can bounce back from their German Bundesliga soccer nightmare – starting with today’s clash at league leaders Bayern Munich.
“We will show again what we can do. And we want to start in Munich,” said Grosskreutz.
Bayern host Dortmund with the teams having shared the last four league titles between them, but Borussia have been rocked by four straight league defeats – their worst sequence of Bundesliga results in 15 years.
Just two wins in their opening nine league games leaves last season’s runners-up languishing in 15th place in the table, a staggering 14 points behind league leaders Bayern.
But Dortmund have won three of their last four league matches at Bayern and Munich captain Philipp Lahm insists Jurgen Klopp’s side are still a “threat”.
To up the ante, Dortmund will have the worst start to a Bundesliga season in the club’s history confirmed by a fifth consecutive defeat today.
