First session in Spain – BVB start the year in front of fans

The first training session of the new year is complete: after arriving at the training camp in Marbella on Friday afternoon, coach Niko Kovac led the BVB players onto the pitch for the first time. In front of around 100 BVB fans who had come to the Banus Football Centre, Borussia kicked off the year with a session – temperatures were hovering around 15 degrees, more than 10 degrees warmer than in snowy Dortmund, from where the team had taken off in the morning.

“We’ve had a two-week break, so we need to ease ourselves back into it,” said Kovac in a media round. After a pep talk at the start of the session and a warm-up programme, the ball came into play: various passing and heading exercises were on the agenda. The session ended with a game. Getting used to the ball was the focus of the first session.

The goalkeepers completed their programme on a side pitch. The injured Waldemar Anton and Aaron Anselmino also completed individual training sessions. While the coach is hopeful that Anton will be able to return to team training on Saturday, Anselmino will have to wait a little longer. “He still needs a few days. I hope he’ll be ready by the weekend. But we won’t rush anything or take any risks, because we’ve seen how important he can be,” said the coach.

After training, the fans got their reward when the players gladly signed autographs and posed for selfies. (cr)

I'm not worried about Friday,\u201d explained the defender. On Friday, BVB want to pick up their first points of the new year in their away game in Frankfurt \u2013 preferably with Waldemar Anton involved. He also said the following about ...<\/p>\n...the<\/b> <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/de/aktuelles/news/news.html/2026/1/3/Marbella-Momente-Bilder-vom-zweiten-Trainingstag-des-BVB.html\">work at training camp<\/b><\/a>: \n<\/b>\u201cOf course, we have a few issues that we will and must work on. The fitness level of all the lads is very, very good. Hopefully, we won\u2019t have to work on that too much, and instead focus on tactical elements, on set pieces. You can work on things like that when you have such a good atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2026the offensive playing style: \n<\/b>\u201cThese are also issues that we are dealing with and have dealt with before. I think we create good opportunities at moments in every game, including through good attacking moves. It\u2019s normal that we still need to fine-tune a few things, and that\u2019s okay. We simply didn\u2019t have that much training time in the past. That\u2019s why these are issues that we definitely want to work on here at the training camp.\u201d<\/p>\n...his goals: \n<\/b>\u201cJust to remain consistent. Staying injury-free is very important. As a team, we want to continue to develop. For me, how we approach games is also a crucial issue. We\u2019ve had a lot of games where we\u2019ve conceded a goal in the last seconds and then dropped points. These are issues that occupy my thoughts and that we want to work on. I want to continue to lead by example.\u201d<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/03/medienrunde-anton/Anton-Medienrunde.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Anton-Medienrunde-1767456663288\"><\/b><\/p>\n\u2026external criticism: \n<\/b>\u201cWe know that we had games that we should have won. Nevertheless, we didn\u2019t lose them either. Of course, there is enormous pressure here, that\u2019s clear. That\u2019s good for us players, because diamonds are moulded through pressure. We want to continue to march ahead. We are now second, we have more points than last season. We have already achieved some of the goals we set ourselves, small goals. Now it\u2019s about continuing to perform. There is no great unrest from within. We now have two games left in the first half of the season, which are very, very important. We can take a huge step forward. We are second and have had a good, stable first half of the season so far.\u201d<\/p>\n... the young players Mussa Kaba, Mathis Albert and Samuele Inacio: \n<\/b>\u201cFirst and foremost, it\u2019s about the lads giving it their all. The most important thing is that they have confidence and play just like they do in the U23s or U19s. They should have fun and get involved. That's very, very important. As older players, we will of course help them too.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2026 the daily routine at the training camp: \n<\/b>\u201cNothing special, really: breakfast, then off to the first training session. You train, you recover. Now you have a few minutes to yourself, then it\u2019s back to the second training session. The focus is on work. You have to work hard over these few days. That\u2019s the only focus. Of course, we\u2019ll have a day off now and then, but I think the most important thing is that we train well and recover well. There will also be moments when we can laugh together. It\u2019s also important to talk about the situation, to talk a lot about the next few months. We have a good atmosphere here.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2026 leisure activities in Marbella: \n<\/b>\u201cWe really enjoy playing poker. We\u2019ll definitely be doing that over the next few days. There\u2019s a pool table. We have darts here. We have a lot of darts fans who are really good, Maxi Beier and Karim Adeyemi, for example. Table tennis is also always very popular.\u201d \nTranscribed by Christina Reinke<\/i><\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"\u201cI worked hard in my free time and followed my rehabilitation plan, which was also quite demanding. I\u2019ve made a good comeback and am fit again,\u201d said Anton, who completed an individual training session with Aaron Anselmino after arriving on Friday. But yesterday, manager Niko Kovac <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/de/aktuelles/news/news.html/2026/1/2/Sonne-statt-Schnee-Niko-Kovac-nach-Tag-eins-in-Marbella.html\">hinted at his imminent return<\/a> to team training. \u201cI\u2019ll be back with the team in the next few days. I'm not worried about Friday,\u201d explained the defender. On Friday, BVB want to pick up their first points of the new year in their away game in Frankfurt \u2013 preferably with Waldemar Anton involved. He also said the following about ...<\/p>\n...the<\/b> <a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/de/aktuelles/news/news.html/2026/1/3/Marbella-Momente-Bilder-vom-zweiten-Trainingstag-des-BVB.html\">work at training camp<\/b><\/a>: \n<\/b>\u201cOf course, we have a few issues that we will and must work on. The fitness level of all the lads is very, very good. Hopefully, we won\u2019t have to work on that too much, and instead focus on tactical elements, on set pieces. You can work on things like that when you have such a good atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2026the offensive playing style: \n<\/b>\u201cThese are also issues that we are dealing with and have dealt with before. I think we create good opportunities at moments in every game, including through good attacking moves. It\u2019s normal that we still need to fine-tune a few things, and that\u2019s okay. We simply didn\u2019t have that much training time in the past. That\u2019s why these are issues that we definitely want to work on here at the training camp.\u201d<\/p>\n...his goals: \n<\/b>\u201cJust to remain consistent. Staying injury-free is very important. As a team, we want to continue to develop. For me, how we approach games is also a crucial issue. We\u2019ve had a lot of games where we\u2019ve conceded a goal in the last seconds and then dropped points. These are issues that occupy my thoughts and that we want to work on. I want to continue to lead by example.\u201d<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/01/03/medienrunde-anton/Anton-Medienrunde.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Anton-Medienrunde-1767456663288\"><\/b><\/p>\n\u2026external criticism: \n<\/b>\u201cWe know that we had games that we should have won. Nevertheless, we didn\u2019t lose them either. Of course, there is enormous pressure here, that\u2019s clear. That\u2019s good for us players, because diamonds are moulded through pressure. We want to continue to march ahead. We are now second, we have more points than last season. We have already achieved some of the goals we set ourselves, small goals. Now it\u2019s about continuing to perform. There is no great unrest from within. We now have two games left in the first half of the season, which are very, very important. We can take a huge step forward. We are second and have had a good, stable first half of the season so far.\u201d<\/p>\n... the young players Mussa Kaba, Mathis Albert and Samuele Inacio: \n<\/b>\u201cFirst and foremost, it\u2019s about the lads giving it their all. The most important thing is that they have confidence and play just like they do in the U23s or U19s. They should have fun and get involved. That's very, very important. As older players, we will of course help them too.\u201d<\/p>\n\u2026 the daily routine at the training camp: \n<\/b>\u201cNothing special, really: breakfast, then off to the first training session. You train, you recover. Now you have a few minutes to yourself, then it\u2019s back to the second training session. The focus is on work. You have to work hard over these few days. That\u2019s the only focus. Of course, we\u2019ll have a day off now and then, but I think the most important thing is that we train well and recover well. There will also be moments when we can laugh together. It\u2019s also important to talk about the situation, to talk a lot about the next few months.
