Dortmund: We need to improve to beat Arsenal
The Borussia Dortmund central defender Neven Subotic has declared that his team must step up in order to have a chance to defeat Arsenal in the upcoming Champions League game from Tuesday.
The German side will face English side Arsenal Tuesday in what will be the first game in the “F” Group of this season’s Champions League group stages and they are both favourites to progress to the knockout stages.
Despite being drawn from the 4th group, Dortmund is a very strong side, and enters the Champions League competition as winners of the German Bundesliga. Team manager Jurgen Klopp managed to put together a very young and skilful team.
Since winning the German league only one position in the squad has suffered a change. In the summer transfer season, defensive midfielder Nuri Sahin left for Real Madrid, and Ilkay Gundogan was brought in from Nurnberg to fill in the position.
When Asked about the game German defender Subotic replied: “Our performance against Hertha wasn’t good enough against Bundesliga opposition and certainly not against a team in the Champions League,”
“It is often the case that we will have more opportunities to attack if the opponent is willing to play football, but the Champions League is a first for many of us,”
“This is an entirely different level compared to the Bundesliga and we’ll see where we stand.”
On the other side, Arsenal seems to be growing into a strong side after a very poor start to the season. In the last game they played, Arsenal managed to win 1-0 against Swansea, but taking into consideration the long list of absentees it was a good result.
For the Champions League game, Song and Gervinho will come back from suspension and will be eligible to play and except long term injured players Wilshere, Diaby, Vermaelen and Squillaci, everybody will be fit to play against Dortmund.
