Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that his Tottenham Hotspur players must quickly adapt to their new Wembley Stadium surroundings if they are to progress in the Champions League.
The Lilywhites will play all of their home European fixtures at the national stadium while their own new state-of-the-art ground adjacent to White Hart Lane is being built.
Around 85,000 supporters are expected to attend Spurs' group-stage clash with AS Monaco on Wednesday evening, and on the eve of the game Pochettino has claimed that the larger dimensions of the playing surface may well give his side a bigger advantage.
"We believe in the way we play and it's a good chance to play on a big pitch," he told reporters. "We need to adapt our game. We feel good at White Hart Lane because it's our home and we need to feel good at Wembley. It is not a problem four us today, maybe tomorrow we need to find a solution.
"We need to go to Wembley and play, behave naturally and not try to find an excuse, that's never good. We need to play and try to beat Monaco. Our pre-match routine will be same, we will arrive three-and-a-half hours before the game.
"There is a very nice room for some meetings. It will be the same. We will arrive with our cars. Parking will be easier than at White Hart Lane now, which is very difficult! It will be an exciting moment for all to play for Tottenham in the Champions League."
Spurs, who finished third in the Premier League last season to qualify for the Champions League, also face Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow in Group E.
