Alcacer 'too ambitious for the bench' as he targets more starts for Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund’s Paco Alcacer says he is “too ambitious to sit on the substitutes' bench” as he looks to increase he is game time at the Bundesliga club.

The former Barcelona player started only 15 times for Dortmund last season as the club fell short of snatching the Bundesliga title away from rivals Bayern Munich.

Dortmund had looked set to prevent Bayern from claiming a seventh successive crown last term after they led the league for much of the season, before crashing to a 5-0 defeat to their title rivals late on to blow their hopes of winning the championship.
