Alfred Johansson told his Motherwell players to “go home and eat some barbed wire” in preparation for their Conference League qualifier against HB Torshavn at the Torsvollur Stadium on Thursday night.
In the 35-year-old’s first game as Well boss after taking over from Jens Berthel Askou, the Steelmen beat the Faroe Islands side 2-0 in the first leg of the second qualifier last week at Fir Park thanks to goals from Martin Moormann and Lukas Fadinger.
