After writing a preview for the game and reading one from VillarrealUSA, another from a Bayern fan and reading a whole lot in the press. I have realised this.
In a situation like this, being an underdog has its positives. You are not expected to do good. That should take a lot of pressure off of the team. Unlike the favorites who are expected to win and advance. We have to use this to our advantage.
Keys to the game - I hope Garrido will read this before the game:
Sometimes, reminding ourselves of what we are capable of before embarking on a difficult mission is not a bad idea.

- Nobody gives us a chance.
- We are either supposed to fight for the 3rd place or most likely finish 4th

Keys to the game - I hope Garrido will read this before the game:
- Forget about points, qualification to the next round etc., because at the bottom of it all it is just one game. You may win, draw or lose, simple as that.
- Play our game
- Concentrate and cut down on errors
- Let us have fun play football against one of the historic teams in Europe. We don't get this opportunities every year.
