Our expectations are that we have a hard match against a very well organized team. We know how much we fought in the first match. Chances are 50/50 and for Thursday. I solved some problems, I got some goals easily, I think.

We have passion, energy, we have to register. We will not defend ourselves, it is a very important match for us, it is clear.

Our first impressions about Kosovo? From the first moment I walked, everything is fantastic, they all behaved extraordinarily with us, we were treated well. I was with the national team of my country here, in Pristina, Kosovo has developed a lot and well. The team has always kept confidence, because we are a big club, we have to react in difficult times. Like the big clubs. We can do a lot of good things. We will give an opponent focused on the match, a strong opponent.

– Elias Charalambous

We know that the match with FCSB will be harder than last week. But we got ready for that. We try to work periodically all the details, we have a lot of work to cover the mistakes we have made.

Probably, it will be an aggressive match, I hope we do not repeat the errors last time. When I say “aggressive”, I mean everything that is within the limits of sportiness. With all respect for opponents, we will try not to show our respect for the opponent on the field.

I do not accept the idea that I lost, especially after led 2-0 in Bucharest. I analyzed and collectively, and personally. We will give everything to return the result to Priestina. It took me something to get over that result. We know we are a strong mental band. We won't be beaten.

– Zekirija Ramadani, Drita coach
