Kovac: There will be 40,000 home fans cheering for Juventus, we must withstand this pressure

At 03:00 on September 17, in the first round of the Champions League this season, Dortmund will play against Juventus away, and Dortmund coach Kovac was interviewed before the game.

We have made significant progress in the use of the 3-4-2-1 formation that Dortmund will adopt in tomorrow's game. We hope to have a favorable situation in the Champions League and Bundesliga, which is why we use this formation against Heidenheim. However, we have not yet determined the specific starting lineup for Dortmund tomorrow's game.

About tomorrow's opponent Juventus

We will play away tomorrow, and there will be 40,000 fans cheering for Juventus on the spot. We must withstand this pressure. We have seen Juventus' strength. At the beginning of this season, every Juventus player has maintained a high level of performance - this is a very potential and excellent team, and we must show 100% of our form tomorrow game. The Champions League is of great significance and we must maintain the right game mentality.

Regarding the opposing coach Igor Tudor

I am looking forward to meeting Igor tomorrow night. He did not surprise me at all the progress he led Juventus last season. Like us (the coaching staff), he also led the team into the Champions League - an outstanding achievement. Tudor has always had excellent coaching performance and devoted himself to the team's work. Juventus has many outstanding players, including many players with Bundesliga experience. Let's wait and see what the outcome of tomorrow's game will be.
