Augsburg will host Borussia Dortmund in the next round of the Bundesliga, and head coach Sandro Wagner said in an interview that his team must work hard to regain their excellent form, and that the team's goal is to regain their rhythm despite being underestimated by outsiders.

In the eighth round of the league, Augsburg suffered a humiliating 0-6 defeat at home to Leipzig. They are currently ranked 15th in the standings with 7 points, only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone.

In addition, Augsburg was eliminated by Bochum in the earlier German Cup, failing to continue their pursuit of the championship.

As for Borussia Dortmund, Niko Kovac's team is currently in 4th place in the standings with 17 points, and in the German Cup, they eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt 4-2 on penalties.

Augsburg coach Sandro Wagner said, "We must work hard to regain our form, and we certainly need to make some changes. We conceded too many goals and lost the momentum we built up against Wolfsburg and Cologne. The goal now is to regain our rhythm in games where nobody expects us to win."

"The CEO came to talk to me and is very much looking forward to continuing to lead the team and is very motivated for the future. I feel the support of the sports management, so I am not alone on this path, which is really great."

Sandro Wagner also emphasized, "We have to make changes, and we won't be stubborn. I'm not the kind of person who would say, 'Let's just keep doing the same thing because we feel good about ourselves.' I have 100% confidence in this team, we have a strong attitude, and we will stick together."
