Important Comments from Nico Gonzalez
Speaking about the weight of the fixture: "This is crucial. We face a quality opponent currently they are runner-up. I'm optimistic we can be happy after the final whistle."
Speaking about the difficulty Bournemouth offer: "We know how they play, how intense and combative they are. They cover ground so much and make every game very difficult."
On today being the first of a trio of home fixtures in a row: "Beginning with a three points in this round would be brilliant. There are three really important tests before the break for internationals and hopefully we get the full nine points. Let's focus on today and next week we will consider the next matches."
