"I won't complain about Lewandowski leaving"

Borussia Dortmund new boy Sebastien Haller gave a press conference and spoke about Robert Lewandowski's departure from Bayern Munich, his team's main German Bundesliga rivals.

The former Ajax man spoke about the competition for the top scorer of the tournament, now without the Pole: "I won't complain about him leaving, haha. No striker in the league I don't think will do that...".

"But I will not look for other people's weaknesses to achieve something. I have to earn it myself. So the most important thing for me is to focus on myself and score as many goals as possible," Haller said.

For his part, he explained how he is experiencing his first days at Dortmund: "I didn't come here as a replacement for someone, but because the club could make use of my qualities. I will do everything I can to return the trust placed in me. The spirit in the team is good, everyone is a good lad. We are trying to get to know each other better now. There are a lot of new players here.

"Scoring goals, of course. I will try to use my skills as a player and as a person and try to push the squad and maybe win titles at some point. But you have to do that as a team together. I have the experience now that I didn't have when I came to Frankfurt when I was 23. I didn't know anything about the Bundesliga or Germany back then. It's different now," he closed.
