**CLUB STATEMENT **

Roberto De Zerbi will held the press conference before the kick-off.

…FIRST MATCH

I thought at home in November we gave a good performance and kept them to very minimal chances. We didn’t create as many as we’d like ourselves, but it was a good tactical performance. I think you have to do that against these. I think, tactically, you have to be right.

…ABOUT MATCH

Equally, you have to be right on transition. Most teams who do well against them have worked well on transition, including ourselves, of course, last season. You can’t just rely on that. We have to play as well. We have to work with the ball in possession, as well as getting the tactical framework of the side right.

…OUR PERFORMANCE

You have to look at the stats and facts, and of course, your feelings, and I thought the other night was a good example of that. First half, we were off it. Second half, it was a very good performance. A very good performance, statistically, but the feel was that it wasn’t as good as the stats show. My job is to look at both - the feel I have for the performance and the stats. Set pieces have been very good over the season so far. We want that to continue.
