Head coach of FC Sheriff Yuri Vernidub on the upcoming second leg of the third round of the Champions League against FC Crvena Zvezda:

 

- How are you feeling before the game?

- Good mood. I will even say - fighting. Let's wait until tomorrow. Personally, I look forward to a good game of our boys. How it will actually be is difficult to say now. But one thing is clear - that we have one goal: to win in every game.

 

- What is the state of Henrique Luvannor, who played one half with Dinamo-Auto?

- Everything is fine with him, he is preparing according to the plan. At the moment, everything is fine with him.

 

- Are you preparing penalty kicks for tomorrow, especially after the game with the “motorists”?

- I will not dissemble - we do not train them. I am sure that we need to go out and play football, our own game. If there will be a penalty - we will think about it. Penalty training is very difficult. In training, one thing, but in the game a completely different state of the players. We just need to approach this correctly - choose those boys who are psychologically ready for this.

 

- According to statistics, Crvena Zvezda is more a home team in European competition, even last season. When choosing tactics, are you guided by this indicator?

 - This season the Serbs play differently, they annually participate in the group stages of the Europa League and the Champions League. A rival with a name, difficult, very serious. Analyzed them. It remains to go out tomorrow and play correctly.

 

- We will not go far - the game with Kairat confirms this ...

- As far as I know, the Kazakhs did not have all the players, so it is difficult to judge here by the statistics of their matches. The game in Kazakhstan and the game in Serbia are fundamentally different in nature.
