The Black Yellows coach insisted that the German side should try to clinch all three points in their away trip to the English Premier League club on Wednesday, and should fully focus on the mouth-watering encounter.
Borussia Dortmund manager, Jurgen Klopp, stressed that they will be looking forward to beat Manchester City in mid-week at Etihad Stadium. He said the BVB are only playing to claim victory and will not settle for anything less
than that.
The club official monitored City’s progress in their game with Arsenal a few weeks ago and he claimed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s game-play is similar to his team. The Gunners managed to play well against the Premier League champions and that
has motivated the young coach to be positive ahead of the crucial game.
Moreover, the two-time Bundesliga winning manager was also encouraged by Bayern Munich’s 2-0 triumph over City at the Allianz Arena, as Dortmund beat Der FCB 1-0 in the same ground. Klopp maintained that it was important to watch
City draw their clash with Arsenal and has given them a life-line.
"We saw the City v Arsenal game, the 1-1 draw, and I think that was important," Klopp was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician further added that the English outfit have lot of world class players but lack the edge to reproduce their best form on the European front like the BVB last season.
"The way Arsenal play is not totally dissimilar to the way we play and City have quality players, but they have to adapt to that type of football,” the former Mainz 05 head coach added.
"Also, if you look at Bayern, we won there and City lost. They have a suitable team for the Champions League, but we'll have to see what happens tomorrow," the 2012 German League and DFB-Pokal cup winner finally concluded.
On the other hand, he claimed that both the teams have learned from last year’s failings and have improved massively. Lastly, both the champions in their respective leagues have strengthened their teams during the summers and are
well prepared this time around. Dortmund won their first game 1-0 against Ajax.
