"It's a fantastic test. Playing at home with our supporters, I think, is better. We have to transmit our energy to them and our desire, our attitude, our skill, and try to connect with them. When we are not scoring goals, it's not only the responsibility of the strikers - it's for the team and it's my responsibility."
"The reason they score great goals is because they have great attacking players. We show clips to our players; our players know the strengths and weaknesses of each individual they're up against. They are very clinical in terms of the expected goals they create and the value of the goals they score. They're going to have a reaction from their last result."
