Faced with Liverpool in the finals of the Karabao Cup, which will be held on Sunday, March 16:

“We have a great game. Whoever was going to stand up would be a real challenge. I think Liverpool’s game is a tie.

“We really expect it, but for now we have to put it in bed and focus on what is immediately ahead of us.”

On Sven Botman:

“I don’t think he’ll be available this weekend. He has knocked in his knee [the opposite one to his ACL injury]S

“We do not believe this is a serious injury, but it will be enough to protect it from the game in Birmingham and then we will appreciate it in the week before our next game in the League.”

Of the detachment of the squad before faced with League leaders 1:

“I will need [make changes]S It would be mentally and physically difficult to ask the same players to go again and give the same energy as in the game on Wednesday.

“We do not have a huge detachment in terms of depth, especially with the injuries we took with Sven and Joelton, but we will choose a team that is strong enough to win and give opportunities to other players, but they should take advantage of their chance of their chance S ”

On Fa Cup:

“This is a very important competition. We enjoyed running we had last year until we met Manchester City [in the quarter-finals]S Last year, we did well in both Cup competitions and want to try and get as much as we can in the FA Cup.

“We know this will be a difficult game. The shape of the Birmingham League was very strong and they had a long unbeaten start, losing only once at home, which was against the Premier League team. This will be a good test for us and a real test for our strength. “

On the Birmingham City test:

“Every time you go to Birmingham, you are aware of the size of the club. This is a huge football club with a brilliant base fans. This is a really good foundation basis and I have always enjoyed the atmosphere.

“We respect them and Chris Davis did a brilliant job that enters there and builds a team that seems to be ready for promotion back to the championship.
