A race that will see some players rest. “There will be a meter of snow, it will be difficult – explained the coach -. We must necessarily rest someone: Rui Patricio, Mkhitaryan, Smalling do not travel with us. We go with the best possible group to try to bring this match home” . On the possibility of winning the Conference, however, he added: “If we take things separately, I say that we have the team to compete with the strongest like Tottenham and Rennes, but also with those who come from the Europa League.
