Kyle: I have always believed in Nmega's strength; Phil Kruger's transfer is a win-win deal

Recently, Dortmund sports director Kyle was interviewed by Sky Sports Germany and talked about the team's summer window operations and other topics.

We want to play a big role in the title race and it would be great to win a trophy.

I fully believe in the quality of this player, he has incredible abilities, and I am really happy that we have such a midfield combination and that we took the initiative to build such a configuration.

This process started last season with some very clear conversations and setting expectations. He understands that, he responds well, he fights for his position. I'm happy with the depth we have and I'm sure he'll bring out the best in him.

I really enjoy working with Shaheen, he is a very capable coach with a great personality and we have created something together that will be fun to continue. If the club comes to me and still values ​​me, we will sit down and talk, my love for this club is well known.

He is our captain and I don't fully understand this type of criticism and some of it bothers him. Emre Can has a lot of respect in the dressing room and we need this type of player, we need mature players with vision. Emre Can thinks a lot, maybe overthinks, but he always wants to help and sometimes we need to take the pressure off of him.

Of course, we discussed this internally, and Gilasi is obviously our first choice at center. For Mukoko, renting out is a good step. If he stays here, he will be in a very difficult situation, and so will Alai. We replaced Phil Krueger with Beyer, and we got a forward who was ten years younger.

We analyzed the situation very well and acted accordingly, sometimes you have to seize the moment. We have reduced the size of the squad and given more space to young players. But I also know that we will be judged on our results.

Ultimately, it’s a win-win situation. I talked to him about bringing in Gilasi, and he started thinking that he would face greater competition. Later, he got a good opportunity to play football in England, and in the end there was no harmonious relationship between the two parties.

The situation made me very emotional. Stories like this don’t happen often. He has a great personality and it was not easy to let him go, but we found a solution that was in the interests of all parties.

He was still the Klopp of old, bringing joy to people, he was so happy to see his kids, he lit up the dressing room and the celebrations followed. Klopp has not forgotten this club, which is a wonderful feeling. I think he will pick up the coaching staff again one day and continue to be involved in football.

It’s part of the job and in hindsight we made the right decision, but it wasn’t easy saying goodbye to two legends. We hope that by taking this step, other players will take responsibility and the dialogue with Hummels and Reus will be handled very professionally.

I want to see him take the next step, he has set some goals for himself and wants to improve his scoring efficiency and I'm happy to have him with us.
