How the live standings in the Europa League group look like
What Elias Charalambous said before FCSB – Bologna
Analyzing them, we saw that they are very well organized tactically, but they also have very good players who can make the difference at any moment. The most important thing is that we are in good shape. I don't think it will make a difference that their coach won't be here. The players are the same. First of all, I hope the coach is fine, not in trouble, but I don't think his absence in a game will make a difference.
We are disappointed, but we will try to change the situation. We can only do that by playing better and winning games.
We are focused on the match. I always look positively at the next day. It's football, you have to understand that these guys have achieved a lot for this club in recent years. Sure, we are not going through a good time, but we must not forget that. What I can say is that this team will bounce back, rest assured!
