Speaking at his pre-match press conference, he said: “They won’t be concerned with just defending. We have to be prepared because they will be aggressive.
“This competition is played with a lot of enthusiasm. More so in a stadium like this one. We have to be prepared for that. We have to crank up the pace.
“There is a great emotional component here, much more than just tactics.”
