After the training session Juan Ferrando gave the interview for the official FC Sheriff website:

Juan, tell couple of words about the training session?
To show our maximum tomorrow it was necessary to train. We will need forsee everything that can happen tomorrow during the game. The training session was conducted in a way to show our players how to act tomorrow.

How can you evaluate physical conditions of the team today?
It is not the most important. It is more important to have needed mentality. The players must understand and react quickly and correctly to the occasions that occur during the game. One doesn't have to be 100 per cent ready physically. Let us take Ryan Giggs as an example. When he has a good game everybody tells that is is because he is in a good physical condition. I think differently. He plays on the highest level because he is intelligent. He knows when it is necessary to run and when not.

Are you satisfied with the mentality of the team?
You can never be fully satisfied. Now we use different methods. We are not paying attention to physics only, I ask the players to be attentive and concentrated and quickly produce correct decisions. We make all this step by step. We excluded running just for running and jumping just for jumping. It is necessary for me that our players understand the game.

But will the mentality be enough to win tomorrow?
I think we have good chance tomorrow, however, I would like to play in two weeks or so, but it is not at all a problem. Tomorrow we will go on the pitch and show that we can win and are ready for it.
