Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham coach
It’s going to be a magical night because to play the semi-finals in our new stadium is something that no one could believe or think a few months ago. It’s a game that is impossible to be tired for, not to be excited to play. It’s all mental.
The energy is going to be there. It’s two legs – tomorrow we are going to play the first half of the game and the second is going to be at Ajax. It’s so important how we approach the game and how we handle the game during 90 minutes.
Erik ten Hag, Ajax coach
We want to continue this progress. It’s amazing that we are in the Champions League semi-finals – nobody could have predicted at the beginning of season that a Dutch team would end up here. We have achieved something, but we want more.
We can be more effective and convert our chances. We want to be confident, but we can’t be naive. We have lots of matches under our belts. I think we stand a good chance. I believe in my team, the players on the pitch and the plan we have put together.
