The head coach of CSKA 1948 (Sf) Valentin Iliev speaks before tomorrow's second match of the second round of the UEFA Conference League tournament against Buduchnost (Montenegro), BTA reported.
The Bulgarians won 1:0 in the first match and have hopes that they can continue.
In the last two days, however, the big problem turned out to be the pitch of the "Pod Goritzom" stadium, which was burnt by the strong sun, and in combination, it turned out that the irrigation system was also not working. "DG Arena" is the facility that hosts the meeting tomorrow from evening the capital of Montenegro.
"What we saw as the behavior of the opponent in the first fight – I don't think it will be any different tomorrow night. Even before the first meeting, I said that I see them as a motivated team, with a strong team, an aggressive composition that relies on physics. But they have analyzed us and they have analyzed us. For me, the desire to win for everyone on the field will be more important.
Asked if he thought the arguments around the match, then today and around training were the hosts' tricks, he said: "Where are we going to train? I don't know if it's a number, that it was not known where we would train, that they changed the field. But we are setting ourselves up for victory and I believe that with God's help everything will be fine.
Before the first meeting, Valentin Iliev said that he had one question regarding the composition. The question was how is it now. "Now I have two question marks. I'm sorry we won't be playing to a full stadium. There's nothing better than that. I'm sorry that it won't be like that now, let's go out to the biggest stadium here, but I can't do it. We will play as in Sofia – for victory", concluded the coach of the Bulgarian team.
