“Of course I have my own experiences before, and in this competition, and different momentum as well, but it’s completely different,” he said.
“In football, everything you were doing before – maybe it’s fantastic, maybe not – but it’s done, and now is a new chapter, and I want to write a new chapter here.
“They have their history, Nottingham Forest in Europe, winning the Champions League.
“And we have our history as well, but not recently, and recently, we want to try, both teams, to keep doing something important in Europe.”
