This is the match that all Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain fans are looking forward to. This Wednesday evening, BVB hosts PSG at Signal Iduna Park in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
A double confrontation which promises to be exciting and very open on paper between two teams who will play the offensive to qualify for the final on June 1 at Wembley.
Present at a press conference, Edin Terzic has confidence in his team. The German-Croatian coach thinks he has found the key to countering Luis Enrique’s formation and believes that his team can hurt the Parisians.
“We were able to find the keys after the first leg. We proved during this match (group stage return match), but also during other matches like against Atlético or in Munich against Bayern, we had big matches, we showed our qualities and we will show tomorrow as well as next week, » he blurted.
Before continuing: “We have to focus on the ball, if we have it, they don’t have it, that’s the key. If we attack them high and put some speed into our game, we have a chance. The objective is to create a small advantage for the return match. The idea is to have two close games. In 180 minutes, everything is possible for us. I don’t know if we were the favorites of the group. We might be the least experienced as a team, but we might be hungrier. »
Terzic fears Achraf Hakimi
However, although he was confident before this double confrontation, he admitted to fearing this Parisian team and the Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi whom he knows perfectly. “II know Achraf very well, he came on loan for two years, then he had an exceptional career. He directly found himself in the crosshairs of big clubs. Achraf really bothered us in the first leg. We know his quality, we are also happy to see him again, but we want to prevent him from going to the Champions League final. » The message is sent. See you on Tuesday, May 7 at 11 p.m. or later…
