I read it as a rumour before our game in Ingolstadt and so I already said back then that it's dangerous to admit it and to think about it because it takes on too much importance. "The essential [focus] is the work with my team every day and I don't have any other thoughts."Dortmund are in DFB-Pokal action at home to Union Berlin on Wednesday.</blockquote>
