Jakub Blaszczykowski: "We must get back on track"

Borussia Dortmund winger Jakub Blaszczykowski urges his side to focus and find their form after three successive defeats in all competitions.

Borussia Dortmund winger Jakub Blaszczykowski has urged his teammates to focus and rediscover their form after three successive losses.

Dortmund have lost three fixtures in a row across all competitions, with the most recent coming in the 3-0 defeat to Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.

Blaszczykowski has urged his side to "get back on track", starting with a key game against Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday.

"After losing 3-0 [to Bayern], then the mood is obviously not good," Blaszczykowski told Ruhr Nachrichten.

"I don't think we did badly. Bayern rarely play as many long balls as they did, but of course there is also the quality that they allowed them to get away from our attempts to press.

"It's just a terrible situation at the moment," he lamented. "We must get back on track quickly. We need to analyse it quickly, so that we can then look forward. On Tuesday against Napoli, we have to win. Before then we need to clear our heads."

Dortumund now sit seven points behind Bayern Munich in third place.
