TodayDortmund vs Nuremberg 21:30 SS3DORTMUND – Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is targeting another five-star performance from the German champions on Friday when they host Nuremberg after hammering Werder Bremen.Borussia blasted Werder Bremen 5-0 away last Saturday, with their pressing game forcing the hosts into defensive errors which led to a flood of goals from Dortmund’s attack led by Germany stars Marco Reus and Mario Gozte.With sub-zero temperatures forecast for Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park stadium, Klopp said he wants his side to turn up the heat against Nuremberg, who are just above the bottom three relegation places."We want to heat the place up with a game to warm the heart,” said Klopp, with his team third and 12 points adrift of leaders Bayern Munich having taken only 14 points from their eight home games this season."Our task is to control the game so the opponent finds it hard to provide an answer.”While a lack of concentration has cost Dortmund shock league defeats at home to Wolfsburg in December and away to Hamburg in September, the champions showed their class against Bremen.
