Rehhagel: "We have done a lot of research on Lisbon Athletic and we have a complete set of plans to contain Viana, which is the biggest reason we are confident we can take a victory away from Lisbon."
Djorkaeff said during an interview, "Every day, the media have been asking me about my opinion on Viana and Quaresma. Honestly, I don't know how good they really are, but I know how good Klose is, and Klose should be the one everyone focuses on."
While Klose felt happy about the praise from the seasoned veterans within the team, he also maintained his humility, "I'm a bit older than many of the players on the Lisbon Athletic team, which is the only advantage I have when facing them."
"Many of them are more talented than I am, but talent is not everything. I hope to bring honor to the team with my goals, even if my personal performance is not as good as any player on the opposing side, I can accept that."
Overall, Kaiserlautern's attitude was not one of arrogance.
