Ciro Immobile criticises Borussia Dortmund

On-loan Sevilla forward Ciro Immobile admits that he struggled to adapt to life at Borussia Dortmund last season.

Ciro Immobile has admitted that he struggled to settle at Borussia Dortmund last season having made a big-money move from Torino.

After finishing as Serie A's top scorer in the 2013-14 campaign, the 25-year-old joined Dortmund on a long-term contract.

The Italian managed just three league goals for the German outfit, however, and was allowed to join Sevilla on a season-long loan this summer.

Immobile has admitted that he 'expected more from his teammates' as he struggled to adapt to life in Germany.

"[We received] no help, neither me nor my family. We must share the blame. I did not know German and I expected more help from my teammates. But hey, you cannot expect to change the culture of a country," he told El Pais.

"You feel bad if you're not used to a certain lifestyle. And German is an impossible language to learn."

Immobile is expected to feature for his new club on Tuesday when Sevilla face Barcelona in the European Super Cup.
