Lars Ricken and Ole Book expressed disappointment following Borussia Dortmund's failure to score in their latest match. The German giants lost 0-2 to Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League, marking the second consecutive game without a goal. Ricken, speaking after the match at Försterei, acknowledged the team's efforts, stating they "accepted the challenge" and played "intensely and aggressively."
However, he highlighted a disjointed performance, suggesting the team should have been more bold in exploiting space. Book, the sporting director, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the need for earlier bold play to exploit defensive spaces. Dortmund's sporting director, Niko Kovac, has yet to secure a victory since his contract extension.
The team will aim to rectify this on Tuesday when they face Champions League debutants Sabah away from home. Their next Bundesliga match is against Eintracht Frankfurt in the upcoming Topspiel.
