Bo Henriksen, statements before the University of Craiova – Mainz: “I saw the stadium, a very beautiful one”
“It was not a surprise for us that the University of Craiova changed its coach recently. Admittedly, it's more difficult when we're dealing with a new coach, because we don't know what he's preparing, we don't know his style, his ideas well, but we manage. We are 100% ready for the match.
We haven't decided yet how we will play in tomorrow's game. We mentally prepare ourselves for any outcome. It won't necessarily be a “black” match if we don't score. I saw the stadium, a very beautiful one. It will be a tough game for us. We play with a good team, which we respect.
We are confident that we will win. They have good, valuable players, but I can't pronounce their names. I singled out Romanchuk, but several are value players. Precisely for this reason it will be a complicated match,” Henriksen said at the press conference.
Mainz is in 3rd place in the main group of the Conference League with 9 points out of 9 possible.
