Witsel ready to turn tie around - 05 March 2012 |
Axel Witsel secured that Benfica is ready to turn the tie around after their 3-2 loss in Russia in the UEFA Champions League Last 16 first leg.
"We know what is required of us. I don't think they will play an offensive game and they will try to surprise us on the counter attack."
The Belgium international knows his team mates were disappointed in letting the last minute goal at St. Petersburg during the first leg.
"We lamented that goal. I think it was -14 or -17 degrees and it wasn't easy, but we created danger and scored two goals. The second leg will be very different."
Witsel refused to think of the quarter-finals at this stage.
"It's important to take it game by game and not to think too ahead."
