Dortmund [Germany], June 7 (ANI): With Bundesliga being played behind closed doors due to the threat posed by COVID-19, Borussia Dortmund's Emre Can stated that "sometimes the excitement is missing" while playing in empty stadiums.
Can's comments came after he cruised his side to a 1-0 victory over Hertha BSC here on Saturday.
"We managed not to concede a goal. Then upfront I had a chance to score a goal. I'm glad it worked out. You have to be honest because sometimes it's not so easy without the fans - sometimes the excitement is missing," the club's official website quoted Can as saying.
Can said his side defended well and did not give their opponents a chance to score a goal.
"Nevertheless, we still had enough chances to score one goal or another. We defended well - as far as I can remember, Hertha did not have a good chance to score. Sometimes that's the way it is: you have to score one goal upfront and then win the game like that," he added.
With this victory, Borussia Dortmund now has 63 points, seven points behind the top-placed club Bayern Munich. The club will now take on Fortuna Dusseldorf on June 13. (ANI)

T20WC: No Cummins, but Aussies bank on Marsh, David, Ellis, Zampa

In the previous edition, held in the West Indies and the USA, Australia was eliminated in the Super Eight stage. The current squad is a healthy mix of youth and experience. Even the younger/fringe players within the side have more than enough T20 experience under their belt to lock horns against some of the world's best. Young talents like Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, and Cam Green, and fringe stars like Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Ellis, will be in the spotlight, with Cummins ruled out of the tournament and Hazlewood likely to miss the early stages due to an Achilles injury. The retirements of David Warner (from international cricket) and Mitchell Starc (from T20Is) have removed significant experience and big-match pedigree from the side.
