- We’re getting ready for the match as usually. As Viktor Tsyhankov has mentioned, we’re totally focused on reconditioning as far as this is the end of the year and players are tired. The weather isn’t really good, but recent games have proved our players move pretty well on the field. Both sides have already got out of the group, but we’ve been leaders throughout the group stage and we don’t want to lose the first place.
- Can Mbokani and Vida take the field?
- Mbokani definitely won’t take the field this year any more. He’s got quite a serious injury. It’s real loss as he’s one of our leading attacking players. Vida isn’t training with the team so far, so I doubt he’ll play.
- Will players avoid vacation mood? How does Harmash feel after what happened yesterday?
- Players aren’t on vacation yet and they realize how important two remaining games are. So, no one has vacation mood.
As for Denys, he’s got even more focused after the incident. He’s getting ready for the match.
- Has your opinion on Partizan changed since the previous game? Did you expect you would struggle against this team for the first place in your group?
- I guess KF Skenderbeu Korce looked like underdogs from the very beginning. Partizan are champions of Serbia. They have experienced performers and players of so called “golden” age. My opinion on them hasn’t changed since the previous game. Although it was quite a surprise that playing against BSC Young Boys at home they didn’t apply serious pressure and kept lower profile. They knew what to do and scored after set piece.
- Zoran Tosic didn’t play in the first game, but probably he’ll take the field tomorrow. Will he influence Partizan play?
- At the theory class we pointed this performer out. He’s able to benefit attacking play of the team, but on the other hand than can make their defense weaker. Anyway, what really matters to us is how we play.
- Dynamo had bad first halves in previous Europa League group stage games. How are you going to change that?
- That makes games more intriguing (smiling). Of course we want to start each game aggressively and score, but every match is a different story. Featuring at home we’ll try to be active.
- Dynamo scored five against Mariupol. Do you have any goals left for Partizan?
- I guess we haven’t scored all our goals this year yet.
