In a recent interview with German media outlet Yukon Picture, new Borussia Dortmund boss Shaheen expressed his strong confidence in the team's future. He confessed that although the team's start in the Bundesliga has not been ideal, especially the poor record on the road, he and his coaching team are actively looking for solutions. Shaheen made special mention of the adaptation of new recruit Bayer, saying that he will be given plenty of time to integrate into the team and perform at his best. He believes that Bayer has great potential and just needs time to adapt to the new environment and tactical system.
Meanwhile, Shaheen also revealed his interest in center forward Girassi when he was an assistant coach. He believes that Girassi has the ability to change the situation of the game and shares similar characteristics with top strikers such as Lewandowski and Harry Kane. Shaheen said that if Dortmund were to bring in a new striker, then Girassi would undoubtedly be the ideal choice.
Shaheen gave positive comments on the team's performance in the Champions League. He believes that the team has performed even better in the Champions League, showing a strong attack and stable defense. This also makes him confident about the team's future. Shaheen emphasized that to be a top team, Dortmund must play their best in every game, especially in away games. He said that the team is working towards this goal and believes that Dortmund will be able to win more away games in the near future.
In addition, Shaheen talked about some of the other players in the squad, such as Emre Zhan and Sabitzer. He believes that Emre Zhan is a very important player when he is at his best physically, while Sabitzer should play in the position he is best suited for. Shaheen said that he would respect the opinion of the players, but also emphasized the decision-making power of the coaching team.
Finally, Shaheen once again expressed his dream and goal to lead Dortmund to a new era. He believes that with the support of the club and the fans, Dortmund will be able to usher in an even brighter future. This weekend, Dortmund will host St. Pauli, and Shaheen and his team are looking forward to reinvigorating their morale with a win to get ready for the crucial Champions League match.
