"I want to play against Liverpool to demonstrate that Tristan has truly returned to football, now that I am scoring again," he said.

"Playing against English teams is special for me. If I play on Wednesday I am convinced that I will score a goal, certain. I am in very good form.

Depor need the victory and the players are prepared to put in everything from the first minute," he continued.

"The key for our triumph is creating opportunities. We can not lose.

"Deportivo are always at their best in difficult moments. An example is the match against Milan last season and the score was 4-0.

"I am not worried about the Liverpool defenders. The British style is excellent because the aerial game suits me well.

"If Depor do beat Liverpool I believe we will get through to the next round. Ourt moral is at 200%.

"I am not worried by the situation. I have sufficient quality to dominate the ball and take the kicks. Tristan is not an amateur."
