“Stop Mbappé by running faster than him, or die trying to do so.” This, in short, is the tactic that Ian Maatsen he will try to adopt this evening to try to counter the French champion from Paris Saint-Germain in the most effective way.
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals will be played at the Westfalenstadion, also known for commercial reasons as Signal Iduna Park. A match that the yellow and black people have been waiting for for 10 years and which they will want to honor to the maximum, trying to overturn a prediction that sees Terzic’s team as the underdogs: “Mbappé is really very fast. If I have to sprint with him, I will have to give everything. If I had to die, I will die trying to run faster, but in any case we will do our best to stop him,” said the 22-year-old Dutchman, who arrived on loan from Chelsea in January.
“Everyone knows his quality. He is a very high level, world class player. We will have to stop him. I think it is a big test for me to compete against the best players and I can’t wait to do it.”
