Coach Georgi Dermendjiev and captain Anton Nedyalkov made statements about Ludogorets, which will play against Fenerbahçe tomorrow in the 3rd week match of UEFA Conference League Group H.
Noting that Fenerbahçe Coach İsmail Kartal has created a great team, Georgi Dermendjiev said, “They have a 17-game winning streak, this is not a coincidence. It is a pleasure for us to play against such a team. I am also very happy that it is my first match with Fenerbahçe. Playing against such teams makes my team happy.” “It will also strengthen us. I am aware that it will be very difficult,” he said.
“DRAWING SATISFIES ME”
Dermendjiev stated that a draw against Fenerbahçe would satisfy him and said, “It also increases the self-confidence of the players. It will be good for us to gain one more point in the groups. Because there is still a lot of time. Ludogorets can finish the group in second place.”
“FENERBAHÇE FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE REALLY STRONG”
The experienced coach stated that the yellow-dark blue football players are very strong and said, “This is evident from Fenerbahçe’s situation and leadership. Tactics and a new design will be of course. I hope we will be successful.”
ANTON NEDYALKOV: WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF TEAM FENERBAHÇE IS
Captain of the Bulgarian team, Anton Nedyalkov, stated that they are not a 7-1 team and said, “From now on, we will look at the upcoming ones, not the old matches. We want to go out on the field and play the football we can. We know what kind of team Fenerbahçe is.”
Speaking about the players in Fenerbahçe’s offensive line, Nedyalkov said, “They are great football players, I hope we can do our best against them and make it difficult.”
“I STILL HAVE MINOR PAINS”
Nedyalkov, about his first match last weekend after his long-term injury and his general condition, said, “I am 90 percent ready, I still have minor pains. But they are not a problem. I will be much better when I start playing matches.”
“EXTRA SOURCE OF MOTIVATION FOR US”
Speaking about Fenerbahçe’s Bulgarian volleyball player Nikolay Penchev not leaving them alone at the press conference, Nedyalkov said, “Of course, this is very important to me. It is an extra source of motivation for us. We will make an effort to make them happy as much as we can.”
