John is a tough, hard-nosed player. To try and play in the condition he is in is a selfless act for this team and I respect him a lot for that. |
This is a game we can't afford to give up. We have to treat this like any other game, prepare for them and come out and play hard. We know they press a lot and that they are an up-tempo team. We have to control the pressure and finish plays. |
