Elfsborg, Larsson: “Roma is very strong but we are not afraid”
But I am certain, we convened a meeting on strategizing for this match, and engaged in a training session where we scrutinized, unequivocally, our action plan. I am of the firm conviction that this, ladies and gentlemen, is the game changer in such matches: holding steadfast to confidence in one’s skills and abilities and not obsessing over the opposition. Rightly so, disregard who is on the other side. Clearly, we must acknowledge that we’re up against a formidable team on the other side. But, let me assure you, we won’t be mere spectators in our own turf, and we most certainly will not be handing them anything on a silver platter. I wholeheartedly believe that it’s crucial to bear in mind that, as Oskar emphatically pointed out, it all boils down to an equal playing field – 11 players against 11, battling it out around a spherical ball. Indeed, it’s a significant leap from the level of the Allsvenskan, we cannot veil that fact. But we confront it, devoid of fear.
