I always felt he had that belief in this team that after each final we maybe did not win, we would come back stronger, or when we have won, he knows that we'll keep going.

Eintracht Frankfurt will most likely need to win this competition or the Europa League to qualify for Europe next season. They did well to go to Salzburg last week and avoid defeat and have had a rest since that game.

Rochdale haven't had a great season so far but have showed some signs of recovery in recent weeks. An away win at Rotherham illustrates the progress they are making. They were held to a draw in the first match but will be hopeful they can get into the third round and that plum home tie against Newcastle United. Boston are doing ok in the National League North and battling for promotion. They don't have a great giant-killing reputation though and Rochdale can get the win here.

I don't think anyone can give you the decision now because we don't know what the situation will be.
