Ewerton on Thursday's Europa League second-leg against Bayer Leverkusen

"We have to go forward tomorrow and we will be ready to defend against Leverkusen", said Ewerton in this Wednesday's Europa League press conference, throwing down the gauntlet for what could be a memorable first win in Germany.

Focusing in on what his side is likely to expect come kick off, the Brazilian affirmed: "It will be a difficult match and we have already seen what they are capable of. We are ready and we are confident. I think it (never having won in Germany) motivates us more and tomorrow it could be the first time. That is what we want."
