Rodriguez believes and Porto in Europe last year was an impressive first season, the club's Champions League title holders are on the same level.

He told the Portuguese press, "We will play like we always do. It will be a very hard match, but if we play smart, I believe we can win".

Puerto Colombia in Wednesday's pre-season training camp in Germany up to World Cup Under-20 squad for their country will join, but the next week training with his club is not worth worrying about.

He added, "Playing in the national side gives me rhythm and that is important. I have been year after year, it will not be a problem to re-adapt and I hope to return in even better shape."

At the Aviva Stadium the four-team tournament will also see Celtic, Manchester City and Inter Milan in action on 30/31 July.

Looking forward to the tournament, the Dubliner said: I've done my UEFA A licence and Pro-Licence in Dublin and have come to know many of the managers in the league through that so I've been up to speed with what has been going on in the Airtricity League.

'I worked with the likes of Martin Russell, Eddie Gormley, Liam Buckley and John Devine and was always very interested in their viewpoints about the game here, the league and the players in it.

'This year I've attended a lot more games through my involvement with RTE's MNS show and I've really enjoyed getting to the games myself and learning more about the league. I always kept in touch with the game here while I was in England but it is completely different when you are actually attending the matches.

'I saw the tournament advertised before I got the call from Damien to work with him and I thought it captured the imagination. With the likes of Manchester City, Inter Milan and Celtic involved, you are talking massive names.'
