Neven Subotic: ‘We are not afraid of Bayern Munich.”

The Serbian centre-back claims the new season will be the most challenging for Borussia.

Neven Subotic says that the forthcoming season will be the most difficult for the title holder, as the club will be fighting to retain the Bundesliga trophy for a second time.

The defender underlines: ‘We are not afraid of Bayern Munich, but we respect them’. Subotic belives there will be more than two contenders for the title, as Gladbach, Schalke, Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen have strengthened their squads and ready to compete.

The player hopes Marco Reus and Mario Gotze will help the team to transform their performance after Shinji Kagawa left the side.

BVB claimed Bundesliga honors and DFP-Pokal last season, yet in the upcoming campaign Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp identifies Champions League as first priority.
