…WE ARE READY

We know it will be a surprise in Europe if we can defeat Benfica, but we are really hungry to do so. We have some players coming back also with Todd Cantwell. My players are ready, the hunger is there. We know we need to play above our level to qualify. We will give everything. This game sold out really fast, we know people will have to leave work early for this game so we really appreciate the support we know they will bring.

…INJURY REPORT

Todd is ready to play a number of minutes and discuss with the medical staff. Clearly not 90 minutes. He was good in the training and I’m happy to see him back. Dujon Sterling will not be in the squad, it is a minor issue but we won’t take the risk - we will see where he is ahead of Sunday. Ross McCausland did one part of training today and we will see tomorrow how he is. Every day when I step into the dressing room I see the dynamic and the will that is there. Players starting or not, there is no difference - everyone is giving their best.

…ABOUT MATCH

We will need to be efficient, the game will be decided in the small details. We will not park the bus as you have seen in Lisbon. I get joy over seeing the players grow, and I get joy over seeing our fans' excitement grow - it is crazy to be able to sell your stadium three times over for a match.

…ABOUT MATCH

It's 0-0. There are no away goals. Tomorrow is a decisive game. It's a team that likes to attack. I expect an open game. We have to be prepared for that. We are a team that doesn't hide. We have to use our 90 minutes to show that we want to create chances.

…WE WANT TO WIN

If we want to win prizes, these are the decisive weeks, because there are a lot of games. We are in three competitions and we have to try to do our best in the League. In the Cup we have the second leg. This second leg will be decisive. We have to show that we want to go for the quarter finals. We want to win, it doesn't matter how. If we play extra time or penalties we try to train everything. It's important to win.
