Besnik Hasi, Anderlecht coach
Borussia Dortmund are a top team in European football. They eliminated Real Madrid two seasons ago and we have to respect them. We're at home, we are a young team and we do not know our limits yet. We will play our football.

Dortmund are missing players but they beat Arsenal two weeks ago and for them the strategy is very important. They miss players with great qualities like Reus but they are still a top team. We've watched them three or four times – they played very well against Arsenal and were not in such good shape against Stuttgart or Schalke but I was still impressed with their strategy.

They play like a compact block, very quick, and apply a lot of pressure. They do not leave space for the counterattack. I have never seen another team play like that. It is a team without many weak spots. Klopp is an example. Since he's been at Dortmund, he's changed everything. He prefers players with strength and speed and he's taken young players with him.

Anderlecht have improved in the last few years. It is nice to watch them play. They are more mature. They have a good mix between experience and talented young players. They played well against Galatasaray and also Club Brugge. Of course I know Youri Tielemans. I know also Praet and he is a good player. They have other good players too and it's nice to see them in action.

We've lost some games because of our mistakes in defence, plus we've not been able to create as many chances. We had injured players too and it's difficult when you always field a different 11. We've had to think of something new for each game. We have to fix our problems. We have to win games with different strategies. Tomorrow we have tough opponents, the top team in Belgian football.
