Sarri said: "It will be really very difficult to be in control of the match. The match is there (in midfield), more than in the strikers. "They are able to play if you stop Fernandinho and also we're able to play if you stop Jorginho. "We have options. Maybe they have more options than us because they have worked on this for three seasons. "But I remember that in Naples it wasn't a big problem sbobet online 24 if there was a man on Jorginho, so I hope it will be the same here in the future."
