“It’s a home game for them, the first home game after a long break, if you want after a disappointing season, that’s all clear. So they want to show up definitely. New manager, Poch is a top manager, so they will show up.
“We have to be ready. We have to be absolutely ready. The football they played you can see it -Poch is there.”
