On Liverpool: "A tough game against the previous champions in England, but as I say to my players, we need to play with our tools, we need to play with our identity. On how he wants his teams to play: "Football for me, we need to play as a team and with a true spirit. The team must know the right moment to press, because you cannot press every time." He believes that despite Liverpool's mixed season, they are "strong enough" and expects a "tough, tough game". I want us to play Liverpool with the same tactical intention that we played Fenerbache."
