“We honour every game,” said the Coach in his Press conference. “In the first leg we did real damage and tomorrow must try to overturn the result.

“Will I be rotating the squad? Even if we were playing Barcelona in the Champions League, decisions must take into consideration a Serie A game to be played three days later.

“I must compliment Viktoria and their Coach, as this team plays good football and passes the ball from memory.”
