How do you see the rival, with a defense of three?

Roma have hit the key, they have a terrific streak with a great squad and a great coach. It has ended as the most fit in Italy. what we want is to give our best version. Any difficulty is above all, the ambition and the desire are maximum. The rival is going to force us to give everything and also there is no return match. There is no other way to beat an opponent like Roma.

Is it better to go several days without playing or arrive like Roma, after having played recently?

Since March, everything that happens is changing circumstances that forces you to adapt. The competition is linked to the history of the club and must give us energy, strength to do our best. All other circumstances are not under our control. We cannot change any of that. You have to have a great mentality to face anything.

Could he have suffered the defensive pivot situation with Gudelj and Fernando?

Nemanja is not there, everyone knows why and it is true that Fernando ended up injured LaLiga. It has improved and we will wait to make the final decision. We will get the best eleven knowing that everyone wins the game. We have one last training session and before the game we will finish shaping the lineup.

What feelings do you have after arriving in Germany?

We do not waste an atom of energy in thinking about the post-match, only in preparing the duel, in knowing that we have to do many things to overcome them. There is a limit of energies and we must dedicate them to that.

Will some things in the lineup change due to circumstances?

We are a very recognizable team, although any rival has a number of nuances and we will get the best eleven. As alignment everyone knows that we are not going to comment on it. We still have some doubts and we will try to be the most recognizable because being ourselves and faithful to our game we will compete better, always respecting of course the rival.
