The top two teams in Group K of the UEFA Europa League meet in Holland on Thursday evening when Martin Jol’s Fulham team challenge FC Twente.
The Dutch side have already booked their place in the Round of 32 and one man who knows more that most about Thursday’s opponents is Bryan Ruiz.
The Costa Rican international, who joined Fulham from Twente on transfer deadline day, is not eligible to play against his former side but he was able to offer an insight on what his team-mates will be up against at De Grolsch Veste.
“I think they will play very offensive because when Twente plays at home, they normally do that,” Ruiz told fulhamfc.com. “They will try to press us and try to keep the ball, that’s one of the qualities Twente has.
“I think we can win the game but we have to be really focused, defend well and also keep the ball when we have it. I think for sure we’ll have chances so we have to convert the chances we create.
“We have to take care of Nacer Chadli, Luuk De Jong and Ola John and also Emir Bajrami – if those players play they are very good. Twente are not having the best season but they are doing well in the Europa League, they know that they are through – but they will like to finish well.
“The Fulham supporters will help, when we have the supporters behind us we get extra motivation so, for sure it will help the players.”
