Marco Rose expects an intense game this Thursday (12:45 pm) when Rangers visit Signal Iduna Park in the first leg of the phase prior to the round of 16 of the Europa League. Borussia Dortmund for a month has not been able to get two wins in a row and after winning the weekend in the Bundesliga against Union Berlin, he hopes to do it now facing the team of Alfredo Morelos, the striker “little guy who works hard and fights”.
With 16 goals so far this seasonthe Colombian is still Rangers’ top scorer and the top attacking benchmark for their rivals. This was announced by the coach of Borussia Dortmund, Marco Rose, who claimed to know Rangers quite well and therefore hopes that they can take advantage at home to go to Scotland to close the series more calmly.
“The preparation to face Rangers is already happening. They play 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3, they attack with speed down the left wing with Ryan Kent. They have a small striker at the top, Alfredo Morelos, who works hard, fights and knows where the goal is.”Rose said.
The DT of the Germans removed pressure prior to the game by pointing out that within the squad of players he has there are many who do not know what it is like to play this type of international competition. “The Europa League is a new competition for us and many of our players have never played in it. The Rangers are a very good team that play good football.“.
Morelos hopes to be the protagonist in Germany, It will be the second time he plays in that country with Rangers, He had already done so in August 2020 when he visited Bayer Leverkusen also for the Europa League. That day they lost 1-0 and he left in the 77th minute for Stewart.
