Klopp: Dortmund are not too unhappy
Jurgen Klopp has pledged to attack Juventus when Borussia Dortmund attempt to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit in their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie in three weeks. Marco Reus grabbed a vital away goal in Turin, but strikes from Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata ensured Juve will take a slender advantage to Germany on 18 March.
And while Dortmund coach Klopp admitted Juventus were good value for their win, he believes Dortmund's style will provide them with problems in the return leg.
"Juve will not have been put under as much pressure in their own stadium as we put them under in the first half," he said at a post-match press conference. "It's a clue as to how we will play against them in the return. The result means we are still in the running, can still make it an exciting evening, and we head home not too unhappy.
"We did so many things right during the first half, pressured our opponents, but both goals were too easily conceded. We weren't able to repeat that in the second half. That was partly due to the fact that we had to make two changes to the one position which unbalanced us somewhat.
"Juve had two big chances in the second half; we had none really so the 1-2 is fair enough. We couldn't do more than we did today."
Reus rues 'silly goal'
Goalscorer Reus was also critical of the second-half performance and admitted improvements will be required at the Allianz Arena.
"We knew at half-time that we needed to defend better," he told his club's official website. "After the equaliser I thought we could get more out of it. We were right in the game before we conceded a silly goal. Unfortunately the equaliser didn't help much to settle our nerves.
"In the second half we were lucky not to concede a third. We weren't determined enough and will have to do much better in the last third.
"But everything is possible. Now we have to fix this in the second leg."
