“Straight after the sport [last week] everybody within the stadium at Liverpool, supporters, Atalanta, and our employees thought that’s it, however since then I don’t assume all people thinks it’s already determined.
“We’re right here and we could be good, let’s see what we will placed on the pitch tomorrow, however my group assembly won’t occur in entrance of the world within the press convention.
“If we win, the gamers will discover a cause to inform the world what I mentioned, and if we lose, nobody will need to hear what I mentioned.”
Let’s hope we get the previous!
