Sousa: We will have to play to the best of our ability

"We would like to play to our best possible form, as we have been working very hard over the last year, in order to play in European competition" - began manager Paulo Sousa. "The target is dangling in front of our eyes. We got the hardest possible opponents in Slovan in the draw. We know about the Slovakian side that they are very strong. They played in the Champions league last year, and came up against eventual quarter finalists APOEL, who beat them. They then made it into the Europa League group stage by beating Roma. They have very good statistics behind them: They were Slovakian champions last year, and did not lose a game in the league on their home pitch. However, they also have some weak points. I am expecting a very tough and even game, and we will have to play to the best of our ability, if we are to reach our target, which is to go through."
