“We know that Fehérvár is a club with a long history that has achieved great results in international cups before. In the playoffs, they have the most experience of our opponents in the European Cup stage so far: He said Philippe Montanier, Standard Liege coach at the pre-match press conference. – I said before that we don’t want to have the Stade de Reims, but once we have analyzed the White Castle game, we prefer to play with the French team. The Hungarian team has technical, dynamic players, good fighters who play football, they deserved to advance against Reims. They mostly focus on defense, but they attack very aggressively and, if they get the ball, they lead very fast counterattacks. We sure have to play better than in our two previous games. It wasn’t bad, but it won’t be enough against White Castle. We also need to be more effective in attack and defense to win the match. “
Mehdi Carcela, The Liège standard midfielder sees his chances as follows:
“We are playing against a good team, so I expect a difficult game, but we will do everything possible to get ahead. I expect a lot of pressure, since everything can happen in a match, but personally, I also like matches like this. The team is very motivated to enter the group stage, this is also an expectation of the club and I am also looking forward to the match. Normally, a home field would be an advantage, but without the fans, it doesn’t matter that much. I am not saying that we are the probabilities, but we want to show why we are considered this way. “
