Team roster
"All players who have made the roster so far can play, except for the suspended Job Bellingham."
Real Madrid coached by Xavi Alonso. "We all know that there will be world-class players on the court tomorrow. It's obvious that Xavi Alonso uses the same tactics he coached at Leverkusen. We also see similar intensity, after pressing, losing the ball, and when there is a ball. We can identify the same pattern that exists when Leverkusen. This clearly shows how trust Xavi Alonso has in this style and he will definitely continue to consolidate it in Real Madrid. I've seen a lot of great things about them, and we'll try to stop these aspects from showing."
How to prepare for the quarter-finals for players "We have a lot of young players." They came here to experience the feeling of participating in major events. Our experienced players are used to the big scenes, they played the Champions League final two years ago. They know what it means to face Real Madrid. We came here as weak, but we want to show our best side. And we believe we can advance to the next round. "
Real Madrid's stage under the coaching of the new coach
" Xavi Alonso has only been coaching the team for three weeks, so of course not everything is ready. But you can already see that the players are accepting his philosophy, and the team's strength is incredible. However, we (run-in) is not long. We still have some things to work hard and improve. I hope we can continue to cause trouble for our opponents. We know that Real Madrid likes to possess the ball. Of course, we also need to possess the ball, otherwise it will be difficult to play in this high temperature. We feel very positive, we are ready for the lads. They know the opponents well, so tomorrow we just need to play with our hearts. "
The 2-5 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage
"I remember the first half was excellent, and Dortmund unfortunately collapsed in the second half. But that was a away game in Madrid, and tomorrow we will be in a neutral position, although there will be a lot of fans supporting Real Madrid. Now there are two different coaches. Two different ways of playing: we play the three-back system now, and so are Real Madrid. Except for a few players who are still on the court, this game has nothing to do with that game. So it really cannot be compared."
Match strategy
" When you play a high-level football game, a game goes through different stages. Sometimes the opponent controls the ball, sometimes you control the ball, sometimes you dominate the game, there is They dominate. Tomorrow will be the same. We just need to make sure we can withstand the pressure. When we are in possession, we need to use that stage to get creative and keep our opponents running. We certainly want the ball, and tomorrow we will play like this. "
against Real Madrid, the pressure on teams like this." We have shown the players: in the last 12 games, we have won 10 games and draw 2 games. This means we have full confidence. And when facing teams like Real Madrid, we need this confidence. We have completed the season, played hard games, faced with strong opponents, and I believe we have the ability to compete with any opponent. This gives me a good reason to trust my players. They are completely clear about what it takes to perform at the highest level, and we do have a chance to win this game."
