SECOND LEG AGAINST ATHLETIC CLUB IS THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME
“I think it’s stressful to lose games. When we’re fighting for a title it’s not stressful. I have no doubts that we are playing better and we are understanding the way we play, even in this context. So we have to take all the hits in this moments. We are losing games in the Premier League, but we are fighting for the Europa League so we need to accept that and to think about now Thursday which is the most important game for us.”
EUROPA LEAGUE SUCCESS WOULD GIVE BACK TO OUR FANS
“It’s a real dilemma because I think we, in this moment, are not ready to play in the Premier League competitively and to be in the Champions League. We know that but we need to win and we need to fight to win this competition [the Europa League] to give something to our fans and to go to the Champions League. Then we will have time to prepare the team to cope with those two competitions. So it’s a dilemma but we want to win of course.”
