Bab 247:  A tit-for-tat with Dortmund.

  "Leverkusen is not to be feared! Suyun is not to be feared!

  In the blink of an eye it will be Leverkusen's day away to defending champions Borussia Dortmund.

  Picture Post has a pre-match interview with Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp.

  In the interview Klopp answered two questions from journalists.

  The first question is how the season-opening loss to Leverkusen has had a profound effect on Dortmund's league position.

  Klopp is naturally reluctant to admit that they wouldn't be so far behind in the league standings if Leverkusen hadn't hit their confidence hard.

  So he completely forgot about his previous appearance of recognizing his weakness, and directly replied with a stiff upper lip, "Impact? There is no impact, we are only 2 points away from Mainz, the third in the league, and we can catch up at any time."

  Although he said that, Klopp was actually very vain.
