Feyenoord boss, Arne Slot, says his side must “play a game of positioning” if they hope to be crowned champions at the expense of Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma.
Newsbreak reports that the inaugural final of the UEFA Conference League will take place today (Wednesday) when AS Roma play Feyenoord. The two sides will clash in Tirana, Albania, tonight for a chance to claim a piece of history.
Feyenoord will be seeking to become the first team to have won all the three European titles. The Dutch side has previously won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and the Europa League.
“Feyenoord must play a game of positioning , as Roma will try to score from a distance,” Slot said in his pre-match press conference.
He added: “We will have to play like we did all year round and take into account the opponent’s game.”
“Roma have a great tradition, Italy has excellent players, creative in the offensive phase, a goal-scorer like Tammy Abraham and knows how to defend itself well.
“We know what to expect, but we never know. Sometimes the coaches have aces up their sleeve, and if they were to surprise us? I said that we played 55 games, it would be a surprise if Roma were to come up something that we haven’t seen yet.”
