Champions League

It is never good to be obsessed with something in football or in life. You need to have hope and ambition, but being obsessive never works. We have a lot of hope, we are looking forward to playing and we want to make the fans happy.

Goals of the Season

We have to wait and see how the competitions start. Football is a great sport because any outcome is possible. As a club, we are convinced [of our own ability] and highly motivated. We enter every competition to go as far as possible. We are ambitious and the only goal we should have is to play to win.

Team Status

In terms of results, we didn't necessarily start well, but it's been the same everywhere I've managed. There is a lot of information for my players to take into account and they are very understanding right now. They are willing to do well and I am happy with my players. The support from the fans is incredible and that's what we need. The process takes time, but I am solely focused on my own work. I want my players to understand how I want them to play. I also want to get results as soon as possible, but this takes time.

Paris Saint-Germain

We don't just want to recoup losses - we want to compete with the best. We are really interested in performing well. We are confident enough to say that we are taking on this task against one of the favorites to win the Champions League. We have proven that we can cause problems for teams competing for the cup.

Match Approaches

There were a few things we looked at closely in the Nice match. But we are Borussia Dortmund - we have our own style of play, our own ideas. It is important to win the first group game. That's why we will try everything to leave the field as winners. They have very fast players in their front areas. We want to defend against them. If we can do that, we can survive and even win in Paris.
