They have to come with their families and bring energy, earn every centimeter, every meter and deserve to win this match
“All we have to do is win this game
We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to experience this possibility
I think it will be quite similar to Aston Villa in terms of emotion and difficulty
I know my players and how they handle pressure
We have to keep playing
We will have to try to do that
