Important Remarks from Nico Gonzalez
Speaking about the weight of the game: "It's really important. We face a quality opponent currently they are runner-up. Hopefully we can be pleased after the final whistle."
Speaking about the difficulty the visitors pose: "We understand their style, their high energy and combative they are. They cover ground so much and turn each match very difficult."
Regarding today as the first of a trio of home fixtures consecutively: "To start with a three points now would be brilliant. There are three really important tests ahead of the international break and I'm confident we achieve the full nine points. Let's focus on today and later we will look at the following games."
