Ricken talks about Dortmund vs Bayern: Bayern is of course the favourite, we have to play at our best to have a chance

October 16th Before Dortmund’s Bundesliga focus game against Bayern Munich, Dortmund senior Lars Riken accepted an interview with the media.

Riken said that Dortmund faces major challenges in this campaign, but it is not without opportunities: "Of course Bayern is the favorite, but I don't want to talk about David versus Goliath. If someone describes us like this, then we are also a very high-spirited David."

"Bayern's success is attributed to decades of day-to-day work. This effort has now reached its peak, so that no team can be equal to it. . So for Dortmund, we have to show our best and prevent Bayern from playing their best. "

Talking about Schloterbeck, whose contract expires in 2027 and has not yet been renewed, Riken said: "But I don't want to postpone the decision indefinitely. The focus of the negotiations is not the financial aspect, but the prospect, trust and belief."
