Dortmund to continue their two-game winning streak into Champions League

Dortmund will play their first Champions League group game of the season with Copenhagen at home. Coach Terzic talked about the team’s personnel situation before the game, and said that their goal is to start the Champions League, and captain Reus also expressed his expectation of playing the Champions League at home.

This season, UEFA has allowed participating teams to set up standing seats in the Champions League. Reus expects the full support of the fans in the South Stand: “The yellow and black walls will make a difference. We are familiar with them in the Bundesliga, but the European competition is very different. Opponents don’t know them yet. All of us are very much looking forward to seeing the whole yellow and black wall on the scene, hopefully it will be a very spectacular scene.”

Terzic said: “In the past few years, we have experienced many wonderful moments at home in European competitions. Now we will have the full South Stand. We expect as many fans as possible to come to the stadium. Support us. “

Dortmund had won two straight in the Bundesliga, and Reus said: “It’s important for us to pick up where we left off at the end of the first two games. Well done, all the players tried to defend, no one wanted to run a few meters. It gave the whole team a very good feeling.”

For their opponent Copenhagen, who returned to the Champions League after six years, Terzic said: “In order to return to this stage, they have been fighting for many years, so they will want to enter the group stage with a lot of enthusiasm and passion. We will do our best to start the group stage with a win.”

Terzic: “Copenhagen has both experienced players and young players, they have a very stable and experienced central axis, and there are a lot of talented players from Scandinavia on both sides. Many of the young players in the Champions League are playing for the first time, they will come with hunger, curiosity and excitement, with a lot of movement, aggressive but also disciplined defensively. .”

However, Terzic is also full of confidence in his team: “Tomorrow’s game is an exciting task for us, but if we continue the performance of the previous two Bundesliga games, we will have a big chance to win tomorrow’s game.”

As for the team’s personnel situation, in addition to the long-term truce of Allai, Morey and Dahoud, the teenager Gitens who injured his shoulder in the league last weekend will also be absent. “His specific diagnosis is still pending, and we will have to wait a few days to know whether he can be treated conservatively or will need surgery,” Terzic said.

Terzic also revealed that Adeyemi and Mullen, who were previously injured, have increased their training intensity recently, but it may be too early to play tomorrow. However, Guerrero has resumed team training, and Terzic said: “We believe he can participate in tomorrow’s game.”
