Nuri Sahincoach of Borussia Dortmund, presented tomorrow’s big match with Real Madrid in the conference, valid for the third day of the Champions League championship phase. These are his main declarations: “We can only do it as a collective against this Real Madrid. The boys know what awaits us tomorrow. We want to be courageous and make the most of the last two Champions League matches.”
On how to face Real Madrid: “We want to face Real Madrid playing our football. We started the competition well and we want to continue.”
On the bruised, injured or unavailable: “Gregor Kobel had slight stomach problems and therefore did not train today. But he should be available for tomorrow. Niklas Süle is fit and available again.”
On why training in Dortmund instead of Madrid: “We trained in Dortmund because we have a lot of away games in the next few days. We wanted to give the boys as much time as possible in their family environment.”
On Ancelotti: “He is a winner, he is perhaps the coach who knows how to create the best relationship with his players, no one is like him in this. If I win half of what he won, I will be able to die very happy.”
On how to stop Mbappè and Vinicius: “We will play as a team, not only to stop these two exemplary players, but to face everyone. We must act as a team.”
On the Turkish talent Arda Guler: “My opinion about him is very good, I hope he wins many titles with Real Madrid and Turkey. He is doing well and is scoring decisive goals. For me he is like a younger brother, we talk a lot. I hope that his future be bright.”
