Bayern coach Niko Kovac told his squad "it's not done yet for Dortmund."

Dortmund's coach Lucien Favre is reacting calmly and composed emphasizing his team has enough quality to face the challenge. Despite the expressed confidence, the 61-year-old is working on tactical changes as his side has to deal with better-prepared opponents.

Favre is demanding "solutions in narrow spaces" in intense training sessions.

"It was much easier to score goals at the beginning of the season as it is now. We have to deal with opponents closing spaces near their goal. It is our main topic to find solutions for that," Delaney commented. To get pass solid defense lines will be the "key to success."

With the title in reach, Favre told his players to only focus on "our next game" and not talk about the outcome of the season yet. "We have to be much more patient in the second half of the season and adjust our game," Favre said.

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said the teams' surprising success is curse and blessing at the same time. Expectations among fans have grown the 59-year-old emphasized but refused to accept the role as the favourites. Bayern are still on a higher level and "we do well to concentrate on our daily work though we are happy with the quality of our squad."

Due to injuries of three defenders such as Dan-Axel Zagadou, Abdou Diallo and Manel Akanji, Dortmund are said to soon announce the transfer of the 19-year-old Argentinian defender Leonardo Balerdi from Boca Juniors. The deal is worth 15 million euro.
