Are you worried about the confidence levels of the players given the recent history of derby matches?
Sabri Lamouchi:
Maybe. Probably. You’re right to mention that. But for me every game is different. Especially in a derby. I know the stadium will be full. A lot of people are waiting for this game with a passion. So my players need to play with passion too, but to be smart and clever because we’re playing a good team, but in our situation we must think before we do. The consequence can be absolutely disastrous for all of us. We must be clever and play the best performance we can.
I prefer the Swansea situation than our situation. It is like it is. Game after game we need to manage this one the best we can and try to do everything for the three points.It will be tough. We know that. The players know that. The fans as well. We want to make them happy. A derby is a lot of things. All derbies in the world are the same. There are small details, but very important details. Emotionally, we must manage the game in the best way.
