The Viola snatched a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 32, and their Coach is hoping to repeat the performance tomorrow at the Artemio Franchi.
“We'll need the same courage we showed in the first leg, but we'll have to be a bit more decisive in the final touches on the ball,” Montella has said in today's Press conference.
“After all, that's where we came up short in the first game. We must play to win, because that's our philosophy.
“That said, we wouldn't mind a 0-0 draw, regardless of what the British supporters and their Press might say.
“We'll have to dominate the game, not just handle it.”
The Viola Coach then turned to discussing some of his individual players, in particular goalkeeper Neto and striker Mario Gomez.
“Neto is a great professional. He always trains seriously and he gives me an option to rely on.
“Those who pay for the ticket have the right to make their feelings felt, but we'll need their support.
“He already knows what the supporters think of him, there's no need to remind him.
“As for Gomez, he must keep playing for the team, the way he's doing now.
“He must be present, hold the ball and possibly score.
“What matters is that he brings his charisma as a player. I'm sure he'll play his part, the way he did last Thursday.”
