Ernesto Valverde: ‘We wanted to avoid Sporting’

Coach Ernesto Valverde has indicated with regards to the draw that ‘we wanted to avoid Sporting of Lisbon and in that sense we can be pleased’. As far as Austria of Vienna, he points out that ‘it is a classic team in the Austrian Liga, where it is second place, and in European football and from that point of view it is worthy of all the respect. We are elaborating the pertinent information on the rival, of whom their most known name is perhaps their forward Rushfeldt, who played in the Rosenborg and Racing. I am not going to talk about the possible pairing offs of the round of sixteen because first it is necessary to surpass this elimination round’.
