What They're Saying
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella (via UEFA): "We need concentration, we need the same intensity for the whole 90 minutes and possibly more. We have to be a bit more clinical with the final pass this time. I think that the team needs the support of the fans. We have to constantly play to win, that is the way we are. We have a duty to do so. There is a thin line between optimism and euphoria. What we want is a willingness to do well tomorrow [Thursday]."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "There are no unknowns. Fiorentina have good players and they play in an attractive way. They have a similar approach to us. They seek to play on the deck, they seek openings. It is an honor for me to be here at this stadium where a lot of famous Argentinian players have played before."
