Kovac: In the Champions League, luck is also indispensable

This morning, in the second round of the Champions League stage, Dortmund defeated Bilbao 4-1, and Dortmund coach Kovac was interviewed after the game.

Kovac said: "Dotter controlled the pace of the game in the first half, but in the second half, we made a little passive mistake. We made too fast passes and had some ups and downs (after the opponent scored a goal), Gilasi was lucky to get an "unconventional goal"- In normal times, such a ball is almost impossible to score, and luck is also indispensable in the Champions League. "

"Our team's lineup depth is very good, and when you need to play a game every three days, such a lineup depth is exactly what you need. So today we made rotation adjustments, which is a very correct decision. For example, Schlottbeck just returned after five and a half months of injury and has played two 90-minute games in a row. The risk of his muscle injury is too great. By the way, Bilbao also rotated 6 players, which is the norm in modern football. Next, we have to play against Leipzig, and then all national teams will have to do their best for key events, and in this case, rotation must be carried out."
