Serhiy Rebrov, the Ukrainian coach of the Hungarian “Ferencváros”, after drawing 0: 0 in the Champions League playoffs with the Norwegian “Molde” and the team entering the group stage for the first time in 25 years, praised the achievement at a post-game press conference.
– What do you feel after entering the Champions League group?
– I am aware of how difficult the task we have just completed is. I am very proud of my team. Dynamo Kiev didn’t need to play the playoffs when I was a coach there, but with Ferencváros we had to go through 4 very difficult stages to get into the group stage of the Champions League. Each opponent was the champion of their country, now we face a serious test. It was a pleasure to make this gift to all of Hungary, for us it is a great pride to be able to represent the country in the most prestigious series of European cups. It will be a different level, there are many teams here with a budget ten times our size.
– Did the game go as planned?
– Regardless of what we plan at this level, anything can happen. I’m proud of my players for how we were able to create moments in the final 15 minutes, when everyone on the field was already tired. We can see Shiger or Somalia, who gave all their strength. Both contributed a lot to the team’s game. The difference between the two duel fights is that this time we were much more focused.
– The fans cheered for the team outside the stadium. Did you hear them?
– You should ask the players about this. We already received a lot of support during the game with Dinamo Zagreb, and that meant a lot to the players. Therefore, the fact that the players received support from outside the stadium certainly helped them even more on the field.
– How can players benefit from playing against the strongest teams in the Champions League?
– Time will tell. For now, we must focus on the Hungarian Championship. It’s difficult to change the situation after a match of this level, and our league awaits us on Sunday. When we find out who we will meet as Champions League rivals, we will prepare as much as possible for these opponents.
– Frady reached the group stage of the European Cup for the second time in the last two years. What is the secret
– I only help the players, without them these results would not have been possible. I feel like the team is very well established, everyone knows their job. The atmosphere of the team is very good.
– Is Fradi ready for the group stage of the Champions League?
– When we play the first game of the group stage, we’ll see.
