Paulo Fonseca, Shakhtar coach
It will be a really intense, tactical game. Both teams will levy their styles and exclude to misuse their footballing principles. Roma are a good group with clever players and an glorious coach. we can’t review this Shakhtar group with a one that kick Roma in 2011 [under Mircea Lucescu]. Now we have a totally opposite team. This is a opposite character of football.
Eusebio Di Francesco, Roma coach
We’ve got to try to equivocate dips in concentration. There will be times when we will be in charge, and afterwards there will be moments when we are adult opposite a side who, being so good on a ball, will force us on to a behind foot. I’ve seen my group urge a lot, and we wish to see some-more justification here. We will try to say smoothness with a approach we’ve been personification of late.
