"It's a special match for me!" Paris SG coach Thomas Tuchel is preparing to live a special moment against Borussia Dortmund, his former team which he will face in the Champions League 8th in February and March.
"It's special, of course. I have a lot of friends there, I lived there for three years," the technician said Tuesday, the day after the draw.
At the head of the Borussens between 2015 and 2017, the German will return for the first time to Signal Iduna Park and its famous "yellow wall" on February 18 for the first leg.
"We still have two months, it's going to change a lot in terms of tactics and injuries ... But the fact that it's still a special match, it's not going to change. I made a lot of matches in this stadium, it's an extraordinary atmosphere ", explained" TT ".
"But I'm not playing against Dortmund, it's my team! It's a good time to come back," he continued, while remaining wary of his opponent: "It's a great team in Germany . It's always complicated against German teams. "
Like Tuchel, Abdou Diallo, Dortmund player between 2018 and 2019, is expected to face his former team. PSG also has three Germans who all played for Schalke 04, the big rival of the BVB: Thilo Kehrer, Julian Draxler and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
