Paolo Vanoli and Rolando Mandragora met with the press in the Wind Tre Media Center at Rocco B Commisso Viola Park ahead of Thursday's Conference League quarter-final return leg against Crystal Palace.

VANOLI

ON THE RETURN LEG

“Tomorrow we're going to need more than just tactics. We'll need to be bold and we need to dream. We'll be playing in front of our fans and that will certainly help us. Against Lazio we showed how much difference the right spirit can have. I'll tell the players to play their football with no hang-ups and just give their all. That's how you have to play matches like this.

ON THE SEASON FINALE

“I'm focused on this season and trying to finish it having achieved something important. The club has always shown complete confidence in me. 

ON KEAN

“We've always done things for the good of the team and for his own good. We do that with all our players. Moise has shown he's capable of gritting his teeth and giving it a go. We'll obviously need him in this run-in too.”

MANDRAGORA

ON TURNING THE TIE AROUND

“It's going to be hard to overturn the first-leg scoreline – we know we're going to need something huge. We'll try to pull off a miracle because we have nothing to lose. We'll give it everything we've got so that we have no regrets afterwards. Reaching the semi-final would be a dream. We want to believe and we have to believe. I hope the fans can give us a hand. We're very annoyed about the first leg.”

ON POST-LAZIO PHOTO

“It's been an unusual year and we've all suffered because of it. It wasn't easy fighting for a different sort of target and against Lazio we took a big step towards it. The photo I published kind of sums up our season.”
