- First of all I’d like to wish Dynamo president happy birthday on behalf of the team. Football is his life and I hope his life will be related to football for many years.
- Considering that several first team regulars are absent, have you defined the starting lineup?
- Generally we have. Many youngsters have come here, but it doesn’t mean they’ll be among first eleven, as the outcome of this game matters to us. We’ll see whether young players will be able to enforce us if necessary.
- What do you expect of Skenderbeu?
- They have consistent lineup and play structure. I don’t think we’ll see something extraordinary tomorrow.
- You lack a large group of first team regulars before the important game. Have you ever faced such situation in you coaching career?
- This is the first time we last so many performers. We have really tight schedule, so some of them have got injured. At the moment our priority in the domestic league, so we’ve decided to let Gonzalez and Mbokani have rest. I hope this break will let them recondition properly. Harmash is also ready to play, but I don’t think we should take a risk.
- You’ve already qualified for the Europa League knock-stage. How do you motivate players?
- Dynamo always have motivation to win. I also hope players will make Dynamo president a birthday present.
- What’s Skenderbeu priority in your opinion – domestic league or Europa League?
- In the domestic league they are seven points ahead of their closest rivals. Their chances to reach the Europa League knock-out stage aren’t really good, but that can happen under certain circumstances. We tell our payers this will be Skenderbeu last chance.
