“It’s hard to reproduce finesse in training,” Blanco muses
“Yes, I believe that penalties need to be worked on even if it is difficult to reproduce in training. It comes down to the details in football. Penalties are decisive. There is pressure of the moment from the opponent etc.”
Blanco looks back on his debut against Panathinaikos
“It was a special situation, which rarely happens. I saw it as an opportunity to help the team. I was sad but happy that I couldn’t help the team during this important penalty shootout.”
“I prepare the same way,” Blanco on his playing time
“I can’t play much, it’s true. I’ve always said, I approach training every week with desire. The game against Thionville was quiet without much work. It was nice to be able to play Tech. Away. I’m a As I prepare, I hope to play every weekend.”

Ruben Blanco and Gennaro Gattuso are expected.
