Watzke combative: “We will try everything”

The failure of Bayern Munich gives Borussia Dortmund new courage in the title fight of the Bundesliga. “We will try everything to intercept them”, said BVB managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke to the SID on Monday.

Three match days before the end of the season only two points ahead for the front runner: “That hasn’t happened for a long time and does the Bundesliga a lot of good.”

Despite the surprising 1:1 (0:0) at the 1st FC Nuremberg on Sunday, FC Bayern still had “undoubtedly the pole position”.

The BVB will also have to do without its captain Marco Reus, who, like his colleague Marius Wolf, had seen the red card in the 2-4 (1-2) draw against Schalke 04.
