"FC Salzburg" is the favorite. They are an important figure in Europe, but we are preparing to fight and present another surprise," said Marekas Zubas.
This Thursday, August 22, at 8 p.m. Lithuanian time, VMFD "Žalgiris" will go to Austria for the fourth round of the Europa League knockout stage.
Before the Vilnius team leaves for Austria, the head coach Marekas Zubas shared his thoughts on the match at a press conference.
The tasks on the opponents' field are clear.
"First of all, we need to focus on our abilities. It's not easy to analyze the opponents, but the most important work is to prepare our team for the upcoming battle.
We had the opportunity to watch the opponents' last match on television, and on Saturday I was in Austria and saw the match between the teams "FC Salzburg" and "SK Sturm Graz" live.
We have gathered enough information about the players, team, and their level of play. Now the most important thing is to prepare a good tactic."
The status of the opponents does not intimidate.
"FC Salzburg" is the favorite. It is an important team in Europe and no one expects them to lose to us.
We are preparing to fight, we want to present a surprise, as we did when playing against "Lech," said M. Zubas.
He wants to play the decisive match in Vilnius.
"Speaking about the result of the first match in Austria, we do not have a specific goal. We will aim not to concede many goals, so that we can return to Vilnius with real chances to advance to the group stage," said M. Zubas.
