Cesare Prandelli, Galatasaray coach
We'll play against a well-organised, very young and interesting team. They will be keen to impress, so we need to be careful. We'll try to get three points with the help of our fans. Before coming here, I knew how nice the stadium was and all about its unique atmosphere. We can't choose between success in Europe or in the Turkish Super League because we are Galatasaray – we will go from game to game.

[Wesley] Sneijder is one of the most important players at Galatasaray and has a lot of quality. He played to a high level at the World Cup and wasn't able to join our preparations immediately after the tournament. We've had to prepare him gradually to help him to recover his best form.

Let's not refer to Anderlecht as the weakest team in the group; let's say the youngest. Just because they've played more matches than us [this season], we don't fear them. It will be important how we play tomorrow as we are not yet completely aware of our quality. When we manage to do that, everybody will see it.

Besnik Hasi, Anderlecht coach
We have a young, ambitious and talented team, we have new signings. The opposition we are playing are very powerful both in defence and attack. We are playing in the Champions League against a team like Galatasaray.

Ambition and determination to win are very important. The Champions League requires that and every player should be aware of this. We haven't come here just to defend. We'll try to show our own tactics on the pitch as much as we can. We'll try to play in the way we do in the domestic league, be influential in attack and have possession.

Our chance of getting points depends on tactics – if we play our own game, why not?
