“Football is an incredible sport. For nearly 80 minutes of the last game, it was 2-2. And in the final minutes, we managed to come out on top. But before that, it was tight and difficult. There will be difficulties and struggles during the match, and we’ll have to know how to handle that. So far, we’ve always shown that we’re a real team, very difficult to play against.”
“We’ve only played the first leg, and there’s still the second. Second legs are always different. We’re ready and used to playing this sort of game, and we want to perform well. You can’t afford to let your guard down in a match like this. What we’re aiming for is to control the game, even if it’s impossible to do so completely."
“I think that was a clear example of what this sort of match can be like. There will be tough moments during the game, and we need to know how to cope with those difficult moments. However, our aim remains to win the match.”
“As a coach, it’s incredible to have a player like him. He’s been able to change position after playing as a winger his whole life. It’s a real pleasure to have a player like him, and if I were a fan, I’d say it’s great to see Ousmane on the pitch, because he’s a different kind of player.”
“It’s always a pleasure to play against English sides, as they’re very good teams and it’s a chance to show what we’re capable of. We respect every team we face, and we always try to give our best. I wish Chelsea every success, but only after tomorrow’s match.”
