Klopp relishes final match with Freiburg

5 May 2012 02:22

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is relieved the pressure is off the Bundesliga champions.

Klopp is looking forward to Saturday's final Bundesliga game of the season against Freiburg as he believes his players can relax and enjoy the spectacle.

Dorrtmund, who have 78 points, have already won the German top flight for the second consecutive campaign and can break the all-time Bundesliga points total if they defeat Freiburg .

With the title in the bag, Klopp is looking forward to the match, but he is refusing to underestimate their opponents, whom he thinks will be determined to get a positive result against the league winners.

"I'm looking forward to this game as it will only be about who is more eager to win. What is nicer in sports than not having to worry about losing?" he told reporters.

"Freiburg will soak up everything that is happening here and build up a huge appetite to go out and play a great game of football.

"And we need to be prepared for this if we want to keep the three points."
