“Jealous” of RB and Frankfurt
BVB makes a clear declaration of war on FC Bayern

Borussia Dortmund’s coach Marco Rose confirms that he does not want to “get used” to a series champion from Munich. His goal is to attack at the top in the future. First of all, the coach wants to try something in the next few games. And he looks “envious” at Leipzig and Frankfurt.
Coach Marco Rose from Borussia Dortmund has renewed the challenge to soccer series champions FC Bayern Munich. “Bayern are in their tenth year as German champions. You don’t want to get used to that,” said the BVB coach. “We want to position ourselves in such a way that we gradually have the chance to have a say and attack at the top.” Not everything has been bad in the league this season. “To finish second in the competition, you have to get the points first,” said Rose, “but the goal is different.”
That’s why he didn’t want to give anything away in the season finale, which is not very significant in the table. “If we slack off in any way, I’ll step in,” promised Rose before the Revier duel against VfL Bochum on Saturday (3.30 p.m./Sky and in the live ticker on ntv.de): “The last impression is not unimportant, you take it with you.”
When it comes to staff, Rose wants to try something in the remaining three games for next season, but in moderation. “Of course you’re already thinking about next season,” he said. Because of the injury worries, the team is “almost on its own at the moment”. He wants to give the talents who were there recently “another chance to show themselves”. But he also takes into account the U19s, who are fighting for the title in the cup and championship. “It is important that they reap there what they have sown all year.”
Leipzig and Frankfurt “do it brilliantly”
Rose played his 100th Bundesliga game on the bench against Bochum. The job is probably responsible for one or the other gray hair, “and not only for gray, but also for the fact that they are becoming less. You can see that from above. But overall I’m very privileged and a happy person.”
Meanwhile, Rose followed the success of Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig in the Europa League with joy, but also with some melancholy. “Both are doing excellently,” said the BVB coach: “Leipzig is also playing in the DFB Cup final. We look a little jealous from Dortmund. But they deserve it and have worked for it. You have to be able to treat yourself to that. ” All in all, he was “very happy that the two are showing that the Bundesliga is not doing so badly in international comparison. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do that this year.” BVB was eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League and in the first knockout round of the Europa League.
The native of Leipzig, who worked for Red Bull Salzburg for four years, did not confirm that he was in a possible final for Leipzig. “I would like a German final. I’m out of the rest. The better one should win,” said Rose. In Frankfurt he is also pleased with the development of BVB loan player Ansgar Knauff. This is “a win-win situation for everyone because Ansgar comes to play and continues to develop.”
