Here’s what Coach Sforza says: “Long ball, and the story is over”(00:41)

Ciriaco Sforza (50) doesn’t talk around the bush for long. Equalization at 1: 1 was “unnecessary”. “A long ball forward and the story is over”, says the FCB coach. Instead, their goalkeeper, Djordje Nikolic, plays the ball briefly, directly at the feet of Vaduz striker Nicolae Milinceanu. The Moldovan serves Manuel Sutter, making up for the newcomer.

It is not the only uncertainty of Nikolic, who looks anything but elegant, especially with tall balls. In the 70th minute, Fabian Frei yelled loudly and clearly “don’t be nervous” on the pitch when Nikolic had the ball at his feet. A short time later, the goalkeeper lets a harmless ball hit his side instead of holding it.
