And Martinez, along with Brendan Rodgers were both happy with the draw with the prize for the victors being a place in the quarter finals of the competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake nothing for granted, Swansea will come to the DW with the belief they can win and we will have another tough match on our hands.” said Martinez after the draw was made.<\/p>\n
While Brendan Rodgers told the Western Mail: \u201cI\u2019m sure Roberto will be looking forward to it and the lads will want to win it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would have been nice to get them at home but we\u2019ll have big motivation because we have a chance of going through to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great for us and the cup competitions are really great for momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alan Tate played under and alongside Martienz at the Swans and he added \u201cIt was always going to happen<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s one to look forward to, for us as players and for the supporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s one they\u2019ve wanted since he left and we will take a big support with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s something we must put to the back of our minds for the time being.<\/p>\n
