(SOUNDBITE) (English) BAYER LEVERKUSEN HEAD COACH, KASPER HJULMAND, SAYING:     "For me it's about recognition, strategy. We do this no matter who the opponent is. We know, of course, against PSG that we will face a team who always is a lot of opposition. They know how to build up the game. We will probably be more in a block than normal, but it's okay we can do that. But it's about principles and then filling out the roles with quality."  6. MEDIA 8. (SOUNDBITE) (German) BAYER LEVERKUSEN HEAD COACH, KASPER HJULMAND, SAYING:     "When pressing, they are very aggressive and play a one-on-one pressing game. And of course, here there is always risk involved; it's an offensive weapon, but there is also the option of playing through at the back. When you play one-on-one, it's also possible to play through.  9. PRESS CONFERENCE UNDERWAY 10.
