Dortmund star admits he “didn’t do too much” in Klopp’s last season

Borussia Dortmund's impressive season under Thomas Tuchel has been dominated by the attacking flair of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and the goals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The duo are both thriving in their third season with the German club, and Mkhitaryan has credited Tuchel with helping him improve on a less-than-impressive final season under Jurgen Klopp. Dortmund struggled under the now-Liverpool boss in his final season, and Mkhitaryan was the first to admit he "didn't do much" in the 2014/15 campaign. In an interview with DW Sports, the Armenian spoke of his underwhelming goals tally - just five for club and country compared to 11 already this time around - and how the new boss has helped him turn things around. VfL Wolfsburg v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga "The first time I met [Tuchel] in March, he convinced me to stay," Mkhitaryan said. "We have a good connection, and I'm very happy I had the chance to work with him. "At one point I was not really confident that, after a bad season, he could make me a high-class player, but he did it and I am thankful to him." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pz25_uMVXE Clip via DW - Kick off!
