BERLIN (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund's mental strength has been an issue for some seasons now and Tuesday's 4-0 Champions League demolition by Ajax Amsterdam brought it back into focus with coach Marco Rose demanding a tougher mentality from his players.

They looked to have given up the game at 2-0 down against Ajax and never put up a fight after that for their biggest loss in the competition.

"We have to continue this process, to improve the issue of body language," Rose said."But we have to do it together, as a team. Then such a defeat can also have a positive effect. In past seasons Dortmund have led the title race until about the halfway mark but have often faded in the second half of the campaign, raising doubts about the team's winning mentality.
