Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp still has the backing of his squad despite the club languishing in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga, veteran midfielder Sebastian Kehl insisted. Dortmund host Galatasaray in Champions League, and three points against the Turkish club will secure BVB's third consecutive appearance in the knockout phase of a tournament in which they finished runners-up in 2013. Along with German rivals Bayern Munich and European champions Real Madrid, Dortmund have a 100 percent record in the competition so far this season and boast the best record of any side with a goal difference of plus nine. On the domestic front, however, Dortmund have nearly hit rock bottom and are in the relegation zone with only seven points from the first 10 games of the season, with their most recent defeat coming at Bayern on Saturday. Dortmund entertain Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday, who have been dubbed the "new Borussia Dortmund" by German media and sit third in the table. Klopp received the backing of veteran midfielder Kehl on Tuesday. The former Dortmund captain is one of the last survivors of the 2007 team which narrowly escaped relegation from the top tier. "I don't worry about the coach," the 34-year-old told Bild. "He always has solutions, ideas and has the full backing from our squad. We'll pull through it together." Kehl also believes that Dortmund are not in a relegation battle, adding: "I resist this term. But we are in a situation which is giving us a lot of food for thought. In spite of that, we need to remain calm and realise that it will be rocky road to get out of there." Klopp urged his team to focus only on the next opponent rather than their poor form in the league. "That's the only right approach," he told his prematch news conference. "But that isn't easy as we know we have a game in the Bundesliga against Gladbach on Sunday. "We will try and secure the result in that match [against Galatasaray], and also try and work on our momentum to profit from that on Sunday." Klopp added that it is hard to explain the difference in results between the Champions League and Bundesliga. "We don't do things too differently in each competition. But we lacked compactness and concentration in some situations," he said. "We did less individual mistakes in Champions League."
