What They're Saying
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen (via Football Italia): "This week, we're involved in one of the best ties in this stage of the Europa League between two attacking teams, and I'm sure they will be two good games. Fiorentina have world-class players. It will be a tight tie and quality wise, we are close to each other. I've played against them before and they haven't changed. Of course the players have, but they are always competing to be in the Champions League."
Fiorentina left-back Manuel Pasqual (via Football Italia): "It's going to be a battle because we're up against one of the favorites to win the whole tournament. It's an important game and we mean to play it at our best. We're here to take our chances. We want to keep going on. We're up against a difficult team, but our intention is to make progress simultaneously in the Europa League, in the Italian Cup and in Serie A."
