Right before Europa League match against “Tottenham” team captain of FC “Sheriff” Miral Samardzic shared his expectations at the pre-match press conference:

This game is very important to us. It is a chance for each of our players to show themselves. We are expecting a difficult game but we have been preparing for it since we knew the results of the draw, so I am sure that the team will play well tomorrow.

Melli will not play tomorrow, lately he played with you in the centre of the defense. Is it a big problem for the tea
m?
It is a problem but two center backs are training with us who could set off the absence of Melli.

Are the members of the team thrilled in a psychological way or rather having a desire to show themselves irrespective of the rival?
Our team wants to win this game. Everyone in the team is excited, of course, because it is “Tottenham” and not teams of the championship with all respect to them. I would call this excitement as pleasant one. It is good because each of us will be emotional and put maximum of our efforts.

How important will be the support at the stadium?
The support of the stadium is very important. Supporters will be our twelfth player tomorrow.

Many supporters think that the arrival of “Tottenham” is the most important event in the history of the club. What does tomorrow’s match mean to you?
It is a very interesting game for me because I have never played with Englishmen before. Tomorrow’s game will be one of the hardest in my career. I cannot wait till the start of the match.
