Coach ““Mircea Lucescu, at the pre-match press conference, shared his expectations for the second leg of the Champions League qualifying round against Ghent.
– What is the most important thing now in preparation for the second leg?
– The most important thing is to forget the count. Naturally, we must not forget the game, the atmosphere, the mood, the opportunity, what kind of rival we have. But you have to forget the result, this is the most important thing.
– Tomorrow there will be no spectator support at the Olimpiyskiy, but a large number of fans will watch the game on television. What can you wish them?
– I want all our fans in front of the television to transmit a storm of emotions to the players, so that they can transmit these emotions to us through the screen.
– In what state are Popov, Rodríguez and Tsitaishvili?
– Can not talk about Popov, he first entered the field yesterday in the general group with the team. Rodríguez was injured a month ago with the national team. Sometimes she worries him, but yesterday he was preparing in the general group, everything was fine. Tsitaishvili is part of the team, he is the same player as everyone else.
– How do matches with empty stands affect the game and the team in general?
– Hard to say. Soccer is played primarily for the audience. But professional footballers themselves must be able to find the energetic forces to play without spectators.
– The result of the first match has probably satisfied you. And what did not satisfy the players in the game?
– What I did not like, I discuss within the team of my team.
One thing I want to say is about tomorrow’s game. We will face a very difficult game against a good rival. His play in the last game was of very good quality. Therefore, I expect a good game from my players, because otherwise it will be very difficult.
