Posted Tuesday, July 23, 2013 by Foxsports.com
Borussia Dortmund general manager Michael Zorc believes Jonas Hofmann will prove useful to Jurgen Klopp's side this season.
Participating in the Telekom Cup as part of their pre-season preparations, Borussia Dortmund triumphed in their third-place play-off against Hamburg on Sunday thanks to Hofmann's storming run and finish in the 24th minute.
The midfielder, who will participate in his maiden Bundesliga campaign with the senior squad, has impressed Zorc with his performances thus far.
"He took his goal with class," he said to Sat1.
"He has made an outstanding impression in pre-season so far. It was right to pull him up to the first team squad."
Dortmund manager Klopp also raved about the attitude displayed by the rest of the senior team with regards to pre-season training.
"The boys do their [pre-season training] like hyenas!" he shared with Bild.
"The players have incredible fitness levels - the best we've ever had!"
