DORTMUND (GERMANY) (ITALPRESS) – Compared to the championship, where the Nerazzurri definitely put the arrow, “this is another competition, where we are a little behind. We had different expectations and we put ourselves in this situation, but we want to make a big game to bring home what we missed.” This was said by Inter coach Cristian Chivu, on the eve of the Borussia Dortmund field challenge, valid for the last day of the first phase of the Champions League.
“The goal was to enter in the first eight, today we are fourteenth – recalled the Nerazzurri coach – We lost some games, but we have what we deserve. Probably against Liverpool and Athletic we deserved more, we collected little even with a really strong opponent like Arsenal. But what matters is that my team has grown so much in the last two months. The perfect seasons do not exist: patience for mistakes, we will have to correct them.”.
The ‘canarinì del Dortmund cannot but intimidate a bit, both for the quality of the interpreters and for the warmth of the public: “We will face a strong team, there is so much energy at this stage: We must be ready to face such a race. We will enter the field to win and be dominant, then at the end of the game we will see how we are put. For history and tradition Borussia is a top team, playing at this stage is never easy and in a few here they can win, but we will try to make a result.”.
Tomorrow in the field there will be no Barella: “He accused a muscle resentment, stopped in training and left him at home to not risk. It doesn’t look bad, tomorrow he’ll make some checks.” Lautaro Martinez should regularly wear his captain’s band: “He never wants to rest, he is always ready to make his contribution.”.
Yann Bisseck, a defender of the German national team, who also seeks the free way to a place in the World Cup.
“It’s always a pleasure to play in Germany, friends and family are close and a Champions race is always a good thing – the words of the former Cologne and Aarhus – In Champions you always play with strong teams, we have to prepare ourselves well. They are strong even physically, but we are good and if we put our qualities in place, we will have chances to win.”.
Bisseck admits that “it’s never easy in Champions, but if we see the last races we’ve always been in the game. Sometimes it also affects a little bad luck, tomorrow we have to do the best and believe it. Many think we can’t get in the first eight, but we want to win the game. We are hungry and we will have to be determined, but remain lucid, without getting emotional,” Bisseck concluded.
