Alexandria head coach Kirill Nesterenko on the eve of the match-answer of the 2nd Qualification Round of the League of Conferences with the Serbian Partisan (first game 0: 2) talked with journalists. His words are cited by the official site of the Ukrainian Club.

“The team flew to Belgrade with the mood and desire to take the result for us.

After the first game against the guerrilla, we made conclusions that relate to more tactical actions of our rival. And it’s no secret that the guerrillas managed to score two balls in the transitional phases. This is a very important lesson for us. And this should be corrected in the second match, do everything possible to achieve the result.

The partisan will have strong support for the fans in the stands. And we are ready for it. Yes, it is very difficult to prepare, but we talked to players, showed videos, motivated them psychologically, and above all – we must be prepared physically for this confrontation. There will be a lot of martial arts. And I think our team is ready for it.

Changes in the starting composition should always be expected because it is football. We get ready from play to play. We also have some tactical moments, and in this regard, we select both the composition and the strategy for the match. But, let it be a little secret … Look at the warehouse before the match, “Nesterenko said.

The match between the partisan and Alexandria will take place today, at 22:00 Kyiv time.
