We must focus on our own style, says Riise

FORMER Liverpool defender John Arne Riise has warned his Roma team-mates not to be pre-occupied with playing an English style of football against Arsenal tonight.

The Serie A side face the Gunners in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie but Riise, who played for seven years at Anfield, insists his Premier League experience may not be a defining factor in the match. Instead, he has called on the Giallorossi to focus on their natural game.

“There is no need for me to tell the players how to do things or what to do,” said the Norwegian.
