Announcements
Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace:
There is a good mood in the team, in training. Of course the win against Wolverhampton helped, we’re here, we’re playing games. We are playing in Europe, we want to go to the next round, but we all have great respect for Zrinjski from Mostar. They showed that it is difficult to play against them, they are very well organized. They are very aggressive in their formation and always have been ready for good transitions. This is a big test for us. We go from game to game. I think that’s the best we can do. Yesterday I watched the Inter Milan match against Bodo/Glimt. Inter leads Serie A by nine or ten points. Last year they played in the Champions League final, but lost. That’s why it makes no sense to talk about a possible passage to the final somewhere.
Igor Å timac, HSK Zrinjski Mostar:
These stands will be full, and we will tread the field well to offer resistance, as best we can. We met them in Mostar, watched them against Wolverhampton. They earned three points which they boosted their self-confidence, a we “vented” against Å iroki Brijega. We will invest a lot of energy, we have a good idea how to oppose them and I only hope that the boys will be focused not to give anything away to the opponent. We have to be patient, concentrated and timely.
