“There really isn’t much preparation, to be honest with you,” he said. “We played them eight times. We know what they’re going to do. I’ve said this for years, since I started coaching: come playoff time, as a coach, you’re a hostage of your team. You’ve had some of them for three years, but of course you’ve had them for 68 games, and I don’t know how many months. If I have to coach now, so I’m in trouble to coach, okay, I think that’s right? But playing a team that we’ve played eight times, we knew that it was a well organized team with good goalkeepers, and we know it will be a battle.
