“We are not taking anything for granted. We are expecting the team to be a very, very good team.

“They win their matches away and they are a goal scoring team at away. So we’re all aware of that, that is why you can see how we’ve been preparing a lot so that we can work on our technical and tactical ability that can match this team.”
