Dortmund duo focused on day job
Posted Wednesday, April 18, 2012 by SNTV


Intro:

With Euro 2012 just 52 days away Borussia Dortmund's polish duo, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowski, insist they will only turn their attention to the international tournament after their duties in Germany are complete.

Poland co-host the tournament with Ukraine, but Borussia Dortmund could win a first domestic 'double' this season in their 103-year history.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (German) Jakub Blaszczykowski:

"At the moment we are concentrating on what's most important for us and this is of course the upcoming game against Borussia Moenchengladbach. And of course we have big chances to become the German Champions, we know this. But there are still three games left before the end of the Bundesliga season, and the (DFB) cup final is another step. And after that, the time will come and there will be thoughts - as well as pressure - about the Euro tournament."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Robert Lewandowski:

"All games - be they in the Bundesliga or in the (DFB) cup or with the national team - are different from each other. In the national team we regularly do not have so many situations (to score a goal) like here at Borussia Dortmund. This is normal. There will be one or two or probably three chances each game. And I think if there will be a situation (chance) for us in a Euro game, we must score a goal."
