Notable Remarks from Nico Gonzalez
Speaking about the weight of the fixture: "This is crucial. We are playing a quality opponent and now they are in second place. Hopefully we can be happy after the final whistle."
On the challenge Bournemouth present: "We're aware their style, their high energy and physical they are. They work tirelessly so much and ensure every fixture so hard."
Speaking about today as the opening of three home games back-to-back: "To start with a three points in this round would be fantastic. We have three vital tests before the FIFA window and I hope we get the full nine points. Let's focus on now and next week we will consider the next matches."
