“We are familiar with this team, we are preparing very carefully, we see that PSV is showing an excellent game not only in the championship, but also in the Champions League. I think we should look at their weaknesses first and then focus on our strengths. And if we manage to show our best qualities and a perfect game, we can count on a positive result in this match.”
“We keep an eye on the standings. We are very happy that we won this victory in the last round and moved up higher. We really have a goal to be among the top 24 teams in the Champions League, so we will prepare game by game and hope that we can do it.”

“The coaching staff comes to our position, because it’s really not very easy to play on the third or fourth day, makes adjustments to the preparatory period, to the training process and gives us time to recover. And we can recover in this short period between games, because they give us enough time so that we can give our best in each next match.”
