Head coach of FC Sheriff Yuri Vernidub on the upcoming return match with FC Teuta:

 

- How ready is the team for tomorrow's match?

- I think we are ready well. 6 days have passed since the previous game. The most important thing is not to dwell on the result that we showed in Albania. We studied the opponent even better. This is football. And there were many cases when the team played even bigger results. I think the boys understand this, they will enter the field and play this match with dignity.

 

- What about the line-up - is everyone ready to help the team?

- All the boys who were in Albania are alive, healthy and ready to help the team.

 

- This year the away goal rule was canceled. What do you think about it?

- I think it played a role in favor of strong teams. The teams below the rank had the opportunity to win back at home due to the goal scored away. But we are not looking at it. The main thing is to enter the field and show the result. We are at the initial stage - only the first qualifying round. All teams are roughly equal. Don't think about an away goal or anything else.

 

- What goals does the team set in this European Cup season?

- Dreams always have - as a club, as well as me, as the head coach and the boys. We want to break through as far as possible. And then - it's to get into the group stage of the Champions League. Sheriff hasn't played there yet. It played in the Europa League group. At the very least, we want to get there or in the group of the Conference League - a tournament that appeared this year.

 

- What do you say to the team before the game?

- Come out, play, do not think about the result - you need to think only about the victory. We are obliged to go out and show a good game. Moreover, tomorrow there will be spectators at the game - 30 percent of the capacity. It is very important. People will come to support their favorite team. We must thank them with a good game.
