Hold in failure by Fluminense for its entry into the competition, Borussia Dortmund missed its debut during this club World Cup, while the Germans were on a positive dynamic which had seen them won a place in the unexpected Champions League at the end of the season. Asked about this underperformance, Dortmund manager Niko Kovac has pointed out the weather conditions, which no longer have Europeans.
«Right now, in this tournament, we see that the southern clubs have a big advantage because of the conditions, the heat. These are not excuses, it's just an explanation … It's very difficult, especially for Europeans. South players, for them, is easier because they are used to these temperatures“, Underlined the Croatian, a few hours before the second meeting of Borussia against the South Africans of the Mameloni Sundowns.
