"The San Paolo will be full. We find ourselves facing new situations. We need to be mature and to understand that if we don't manage to express our play, we must limit the damage. We mustn't self-harm.
"Villarreal have more experience than us. They have played in the Champions League. We must stop them. We are playing one of the possible candidates for success in the Final. They play with the ball on the floor, it's a little like my way of thinking about football.
"This duel is beautiful and fascinating," he concluded.
