Dortmund drew 0-0 with Fruminense in the first round of the Club World Cup. The team's sports director Kyle was interviewed during the team's recovery training. He talked about the first game of this event, the team's self-criticism and Job Bellingham's debut.

- About the first match against Fruminense:

Kyle: "We wanted to get three points, but overall, we were completely acceptable to this point. Given the situation in the group, it is important to get this point in the end. The conditions here are not easy, but this cannot be an excuse. It is always difficult to enter the early stages of an event, and we also see that we need to do more. I am confident that we will show this in the next two games."

- Self-criticism about the team:

Kyle: "If something like this comes from the team, that's a good thing. Of course I noticed it, and talked to the players. I have a very positive view of it. We have to show up in the next game. Nothing bad happened in the first game - we were against a Brazilian team in good shape and got a point. But it also shows that we have to go all out."

Regarding the next opponents Mamelodi Sunset and Ulsan HD:

Kyle: "We watched the last part of the game between them because they were still on the plane. Of course, we will look back on the whole game and analyze the two teams."

- About Bellingham Jr.'s Dortmund debut:

Kyle: "First of all, I'm glad he finished his first game right away. It can be seen that he needs to adapt first and be familiar with the rhythm of the team's running. He feels very engaged and actively ask for the ball immediately after the bench comes on."

- About the conditions at Miami International Training Field:

Kyle: "We are glad that Miami International has provided us with the opportunity to train here. Whether it is the strength training area or the field conditions, it is very suitable for work. We try to arrange training in the morning, because it will soon get very hot."
