Paulo will lead his Swansea City side into action against Irvine's Wednesday team tomorrow and despite the big difference bwteeen the two sides in the table, Paulo is expecting a tough test against the Owls.
“We have an important game against an opposition who are very difficult to beat and have done well in their last two games.
“In their last game against West Bromwich Albion they deserved a little bit more, they are very organised and can counter-attack very well.
“They could have won the game, but conceded at the very end when it is difficult to come back.
“It will be a very difficult game against, in my opinion, one of the nicest managers in the Championship.
“He is a person I have a lot of respect for because he has a lot of respect for everyone.
“I hope they get out of their situation, especially for Alan Irvine and for an important club like Sheffield Wednesday.
“Each game it is important to win, but it is not a cup final,” he said.
“My approach since the start of the season has been to win each game. We’ve had a winning mentality since the start of the season.
“All the games are important and special for a club like us to stay in a strong competition like the Championship.
“We need to approach all the games in the same way. It can’t be different when we play home or away.”
