DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund will be facing a new-look Chelsea in their Champions League last 16 first leg on Wednesday following the English club's big spending spree but coach Edin Terzic said on Tuesday his team was ready for any surprises.
Chelsea signed more than half a dozen players in the January transfer window including British record capture Enzo Fernandez for more than $130 million, and Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos, David Fofana and Mykhailo Mudryk among others.
"It is not easy to analyse ," Terzic told a news conference."After the Champions League draw we watched their games but then in the transfer window there was so much movement from them. "So you don't know how they will play. In defence they played with four but before also with three in the back. We will prepare for everything."
The Ruhr valley club has also been banking on youth, with teenagers having scored 15 league goals this season, as many as all the other Bundesliga teams combined.
