Valverde: ‘We are going for the three points’

Ernesto Valverde has declared in the press conference that ‘we will go out on the field to try to win; we are going for the three points. Each match has its mystery, the day of the Trabzonspor was also a final and Thursday’s is a match in which we either continue or not. It is going to be a very pretty match, the field is going to be full, there will be pressure and we are players who play matches like the one on Thursday. These are the ones we want, those that give step to something better or they leave you out. We hope that it is a great and special match for us, one of the first finals throughout the season and we are going to confront it as such ‘.

He has pointed out that ‘the team, I think, is going to confront it with guarantees. It is a different match and in any case what counts are the numbers to do statistics and these can be broken and this it is a match to break statistics. It has of different character’.

Finally, he has reminded us of the fact that our team will have its supporters in the stands; stands which will be full of Belgian fans: ‘We will find our supporters there; I know that it is a difficult ground because they trust their fans, which makes the field a pressure cooker. The public considers UEFA as something to enjoy and we are going to see if we can advance and continue offering them good matches’.
