SOUNDBITE (Italian): Eusebio Di Francesco, Roma head coach:
(On the differences between playing against Barcelona - who Roma beat in Champions League quarter-finals after overcoming 4-1 first-leg deficit - and Liverpool)
"We're facing a totally different team (Liverpool) from a tactical perspective and in terms of attitude. They're much less about ball possession and more inclined to go forward, so tactically that means a lot of changes for us. But the motivation is the same. We want to make this comeback happen, we want to give everything we have to try and do something great."SOUNDBITE (Italian): Eusebio Di Francesco, Roma head coach:
(On the performance he expects from his players)
"I would like to do what you can do with a computer - to cut and paste that performance (3-0 second leg win against Barcelona), the technical, mental, physical effort we showed. In order to compete against Liverpool you need to raise the bar in terms of physical effort, this is key. Then you can think about all the rest, you can think about your attitude, you can think about scoring as early as possible to have our fans fully behind us."OUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager:
(On the attack on Liverpool fans by Roma fans before the first game)
"The fight around a football game is only on the pitch, and the rules are the football rules. And everybody who doesn't accept these rules will be sent off. That's clear, and it was always like this and it should be always like this."SOUNDBITE (English) Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool manager:
"Probably a lot of people think 'Oh Roma has only to win 3-0', but that's quite a result. And we will be there as well tomorrow, so we will not wait in a dressing room. So that means that there's a football game to play and I'm really looking forward to it, because that's what you want to play for the big stakes, for the big things, and that's why we're here."
