Coach tooth Beton Bekjiri and goalkeeper Baboucarr Gaye, those who represented Shkendija at the press conference, showed themselves confident in their forces.
“It is a match in which we will give our best. Despite the respect we have for the opponent, being in the situation where we won the first match, we will try to make a new positive evolution. I think we have all the premises to make a good match and to get the maximum.
In the tour I won by 1-0, and such a score does not guarantee that you will advance if you defend yourself all the time or if you approach the defensive match. We will try to play our game, try to register, create opportunities and be solid in defense, so that at the end of the match we celebrate the qualification.
It will certainly be a difficult match. All FCSB players are of high quality. For us it does not matter who will be the holder and who on the bench, because everyone is of high quality. We will try to give the best, ”said the North Macedonians in the first phase.
Faced with the optimistic statements of Gigi Becali and Mihai Stoica, FCSB patron by saying, among othersthat “we will have 3-0 at the break”, Bekjiri replied as follows:
“We respect both the coach and the advertised players. I do not want to respond to the statements made by the employer and the general manager, that they will win in the first half or at high score, because I think everything is decided on the ground, not at the declarative level”.
Here are the ideas of the goalkeeper Baboucarr Gaye:
“It will be a very difficult match, but of course we trust us, that's why we came here. We respect the opponents, but tomorrow we will give what we have better and we will get on the field to get the result that will allow us to leave the land smiling.”
“All the teams enter the field with the thought of victory and I can not imagine that I can enter the field with another idea. That is why football is interesting, because at every moment and any mistake you can score or receive emptiness. For this reason we must work as a team, go out and give everything to get the result.”
