LIVERPOOL FC: RIISE: WE CAN WIN IN SOFIA

/noticias.info/ John Arne Riise is confident Liverpool will record their eighth straight pre-season victory when they face CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria tomorrow night.

The Norwegian star says the players are aware that CSKA are a much tougher team to face than TNS or FBK Kaunas, but he remains confident the Reds can get through this third qualifying round tie and get into the group stages of the Champions League.

Liverpool have scored 22 goals in seven matches so far this pre-season and Riise insists everyone is in a confident frame of mind.

He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We know a lot about CSKA Sofia now and we know they are a strong team, a good team so it's going to be tough going over there and getting a good result, but we are high on confidence that we can go there, get some goals and hopefully win.

"We might be favourites but we still have to go over there and win the game. I don't think it matters that much having the second leg at Anfield but of course it's always good to finish a tie at home in front of our own supporters.

"We hope to get a good result in Bulgaria and bring them back to Anfield and finish off the tie here. As I said, it will be a tough couple of games but we are very confident we can get through.

"There have been some important games during the pre-season and we have scored a lot of goals and kept some clean sheets as well which is good for the confidence.

"I think the main thing is we are scoring goals which is important to win games. It helps if more players score goals and Steven Gerrard has scored a lot of goals already so it's looking good for us." notas_de_prensa_archivo
