“The Olimpico is a very intense stadium with a fantastic atmosphere. But we have to be very focused on how we want to play.”

“We must be united as a team and defend well. The context will be difficult but we know it.”

“We play with a lot of confidence and personality. It will be important to have these characteristics at the Olimpico.”
