Captain Obvious at work. Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic spoke at a press conference about his last opponent in the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain.

The 4-1 defeats at Newcastle and 2-1 at Milan are there to support Terzic’s words.

If we are compact, we will be balanced on the ground. » Stay compact to avoid being hit by the waves of the Parisian arrows – even if Dembélé is absent – Kylian Mbappé first. “Kylian is a top level player,” analyzes Terzic. Rather, we must see as a collective to block it. But it will be very difficult to block him for 90 minutes. »

But the opposing coach was careful not to comment on the possibility of eliminating Paris Saint-Germain. “We want to have a very good match against PSG tomorrow. If we succeed, we will have a good chance of winning. We want to be first in the group! »
