“They’re a team that is always characterized by the same thing, very, very physical, with those quick counterattacks and with players up front who are unbalanced.
“They’re a different team to us, but that’s what we’re here for, to adapt to any type of match.”
Tonight’s encounter is slated for the Stade de la Beaujoire, Nantes.
