Tiger Pu reported that after losing to Bayern 0-6 in the opening match of the Bundesliga, Leipzig rebounded quickly and won four consecutive victories. They will challenge Dortmund away this Saturday. Before the game, Germany Sky Sports interviewed Leipzig new player John Bakayoko, who talked about the team's adjustment, his own role and expectations for the new season. After losing to Bayern 0-6, Leipzig seemed to be on the right track quickly. What has changed in the team?

"I won't say anything big has changed. I feel like we're just aware of what needs to be improved and how to learn from mistakes and weaknesses. Our mindset has not changed because it's good. It's mainly because we put in the details. I think Bayern was very prepared for that game and their players worked together longer, which was an accident for us. But I think we reacted well afterwards. "

After Xavi Simmons, Oponda and Seschko left, did you have a different role in the team?

"No. I'm here to help the team, it's my job. Of course we lost several great players, but there are still many high-level players on the team, so my role has not changed."

The weekend against Dortmund was a key battle. What do you think?

"For me, every game is an important game. The only thing that matters is to win. Whether it's going to Wolfsburg, Mainz or Dortmund, it's the same for me. We have to win these tough battles. I'm looking forward to this game, and I believe that if we are ready and grasp the rhythm of the game, we can win any opponent. I believe we can achieve great things."

Do you have any goals for your goals this season?

"I don't want to set specific numbers or limits for myself. I think I can achieve many goals. I just want to score as many goals as possible."
