Swiss Kriens proved to be a tough nut to crack for Metalurg in the first game of the last round of qualifications for the group stage of the Europa League. The Macedonian representative will take „only“ plus two to the rematch, but that does not worry coach Zoran Kastratović, who announces that his team will go to victory in Lucerne as well.
- As I announced before the game, Lucerne is a solid team with an enviable quality in defense, transition and attack. We were at a high level in defense, as well as in commitment. The final result is our starting point before the rematch and gives us additional motivation before the trip to Switzerland. Congratulations to my players on their engagement, and as far as mistakes are concerned, they are certainly not the result of tactical ideas, said an experienced expert.
