“I do not think he is an extraordinary opponent, who would pose a lot of problems.
I think the Scots are at a level … if not inferior, at least equal. So FCSB has the first chance in this double, ”said Gabi Balint, according to digisport.ro.
The team that could not take us out. Football, football … Shkendija seems weaker than Drita, they pass, I do. The problem is that we qualified, well we qualified, but we have to play football. Everyone commented that “alas, that we qualified for a step.” It's not.
It came well now, and in Bucharest (no – Edjoaum), it has a waist, I said we need to be more aggressive, stronger, because we already had an advance and that was, to be stronger in the middle of the field. That's why I put it.
