Fan power
When asked what he wants from fans for this game:
“It’s not what I wanted, but it’s what the fans give, they always support the team unconditionally. It’s hard to imagine a better or greater support than the one we’ve received. The presence of a classic rival increases enthusiasm and it would be precious to witness it. And of course we think more about what we need to give the public than what we need to get in return from them.”
Marcelo Bielsa
