Di Matteo - They Are Very Defensive
Di Matteo - They Are Very Defensive
Tuesday, 16th Mar 2010 17:10

Roberto Di Matteo seems ready for what he almost thinks is a clash of styles at the Liberty this evening

Di Matteo brings his promotion chasing West Brom side to Swansea looking to avoid a league double for the Swans after Craig Beattie's goal gave us a 1-0 win at the Hawthorns earlier this season.

The Baggies manager though knows it will be a tough test for his side - the Swans have been breached just 9 times at home this season

“For me they are a very defensive team." he told the Express and Star

"They are more concerned about not conceding a goal than they are about scoring a goal. It’s going to make it very hard for us because they don’t concede many goals.

“Even at home they are not very adventurous. They are very defensive and they don’t score many goals and don’t concede many goals.

“We will have to be focussed and will have to be very sharp and have a look at those players that they have in the team who can be dangerous.

“But we have our own philosophies and we will try to impose ourselves.”
