Nevertheless it is important for me to make clear that Mats has behaved impeccably."He has been open and honest with us at all times." Dortmund go into Saturday's game with Wolfsburg seven points behind Bayern and will be aware that the Bavarian giants can win the title with a win over Borussia Monchengladbach.However, Watzke feels Dortmund's prospects remain positive, and has urged the fans to get behind the team instead of directing their ire at Hummels. "I would be very happy if the disappointment of the BVB fans would not be used towards hostility against Mats," he added. "He would not deserve it after being in the middle of a great story for eight and a half years.  "Also, we are currently at a key stage of the season with good prospects. We can reach the highest points ever achieved and bring home the DFB-Pokal crown when we face Bayern in the final on May 21."Watzke has also reiterated that despite Hummels' wish to leave, the player will be going nowhere until a satisfactory offer is received. "There is no update. An absolute pre-requisite for this transfer to happen this summer is that Bayern match our demands. I have not seen that yet," he said.</blockquote>
