Sacchi backs Juventus to beat Dortmund if they stick to their coach’s plan

Juventus are set to begin their Champions League campaign this season with a midweek clash against Borussia Dortmund. The Bianconeri worked hard to secure a top-four finish last term, navigating a challenging campaign that involved two managerial changes. While they are pleased with their domestic achievements, the focus now shifts to making an impact on the European stage.

Juve’s current form positions them as one of the most competitive teams in the competition, and supporters will be eager to see whether their strong domestic performances can be translated into continental success. Borussia Dortmund will serve as their first opponent in the group stage, providing an early test of the Italian side’s ambitions.

Preparing for Dortmund

The German outfit has already faced Juventus earlier this year in a pre-season friendly, a match that ended in victory for the Bianconeri. However, the midweek Champions League encounter is expected to be far more demanding, requiring Juventus to operate at their highest level.

Arrigo Sacchi has offered his guidance to the team ahead of the fixture. As quoted by Football Italia, he advised, “As long as they follow the coach’s directives perfectly. Tudor wants defensive solidity and a very vertical game. If the Bianconeri are solid and vertical, they can overcome Dortmund and start off their Champions League journey in a great way.”
