The influence of Roy Hodgson at Fulham cannot be underscored, and he continues to pace both the present and future at the club.
On the eve of the first leg of the West London club’s Europa League round-of-16 tie against Juventus in the Stadio Olimpico this evening, Hodgson comments on the idea of raising the standards at the club.
"With no real European history at the club, we are making it as we go along in this competition,” Hodgson said. “We are setting a high standard and I think that, perhaps somewhere in the future, it is going to be difficult to improve on this. The history we are making is a very important step for the club. This adventure in Europe is helping to make us stronger."
"It’s a great reward to be playing a team of the stature of Juventus in the last 16. If we could progress farther, it would be a tremendous feather in our cap. The team has responded superbly to every major obstacle that has been placed in front of them. I suppose you could say it’s beyond our wildest dreams but we didn’t really have any dreams when we started out.”
