Speaking about the weight of the game: "This is crucial. We face a strong side and now they are second. Hopefully we can be satisfied after the final whistle."
Regarding the threat the visitors present: "We know their approach, their high energy and aggressive they are. They run extensively and turn each match challenging."
On today being the initial of three home games back-to-back: "Beginning with a three points this week would be amazing. There are three really important tests prior to the FIFA window and I'm confident we achieve the three wins. Let's focus on now and afterwards we will look at the next matches."
