Bundesliga: How have the first few games been for you?

Ole Book: “The first time with a real atmosphere was this weekend. Unfortunately, at the first home game there was the medical emergency, which was tragic, with a very subdued atmosphere and then also a negative result. That did not yet feel like Borussia Dortmund as I had experienced it from the stands.

"This weekend was much nicer. It was a very positive experience. On the other hand, we also know how to assess it. We were happy, and it was a good feeling. UEFA Champions League qualification was good, and it was a convincing win. But we also assess it realistically and know we still have to keep working.”
