BERLIN, Nov. 5-- Lucien Favre is a cautious man. The valuable experience he has gained in his coaching career might be the reason for this caution. While Borussia Dortmund fans are dreaming of winning, the Swiss coach is insisting that now is not the time to celebrate. However, the club's current position couldn't be more promising. There is a real chance they could pick up a trophy this season, for the first time since winning the Bundesliga in 2011 and 2017. After the tenth round of matches, the Black and Yellows are top of the league, four points ahead of their most dangerous rival Bayern Munich. In their Champions League group, the 2017 German Champion (9 points) are in a good position of securing their progress to the knock-out stage when facing Atletico Madrid (6 points) this Tuesday evening. In their home game, Dortmund thrashed the Spanish giants 4-0. Favre has set a new club record after remaining unbeaten in his 15 games. Current Paris St Germain coach Thomas Tuchel only managed 14 in the 2017/2016 season. Dortmund has scored 30 goals in its previous ten games. But Favre is far from going overboard. Asked how he would celebrate his team's latest success, Favre said that they had "done fairly well so far, but we are still far from perfect. Looking at the week lying ahead of us, we have to face two of Europe's top clubs." Following Atletico this Tuesday, next up will be the reigning German Champions Bayern Munich. Within the space of seven days, the league leaders could lay the foundations for a successful season. Favre however doesn't want to endanger the team's progress and is banning any celebrations. |
