Dortmund (AP) - For the season final spurt in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund's sports director Michael Zorc wants his team to perform similarly to the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League at Manchester City.

“We said we weren't going to give up.

To say that is not enough, "he told the" ruhrnachrichten.de "on Wednesday.

«Now we have to show that too.

Performing seven times like in Manchester, that would be good. "

The day before, BVB lost 2-1 to the leaders of the English Premier League after a strong performance.

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund are threatening to miss one of the four Champions League places.

After the 1: 2 on Saturday against fourth place in the table and fellow rivals Eintracht Frankfurt, they are fifth behind the Hessians seven points.

There are still seven game days to come.

Zorc cannot explain why his team shows such great fluctuations in performance.

"That's our big mystery this season," he said.

"In Manchester we showed that we can."
