Barbarez reiterated that Wales is a strong team, but that he has a plan to counter them.
“Wales has a lot of good footballers, and the fact that they lack a few good players is completely normal. We have our own plan and idea, and we believe that it is successful. This game can last for 120 minutes, it can also go to penalties. You have to think about everything and we made a plan, and certainly we came here with optimism that we can go on,” said Barbarez, then continued:
“Whether we will be offensive or not, let that remain for tomorrow. The game can always go in a direction you don’t expect, but then it is important to react. For me, possession in today’s football is not a priority, it does not mean as much as before”.
It was the turn of the Welsh journalists, who were interested in the situation between Tahirović and Cooper. Barbarez publicly stated that the Welsh coach is “bullying” Tahirović in Brondby precisely because of the match with Wales, which was talked about a lot in the earlier days.
“I trust my player and it’s up to me to protect him. That’s the most important thing for me. It was for you, to have a little fun, and for us to work in peace. I’ve known Benjamin for over two years and I have all the compliments about his game and behavior. That topic needs to be finished, we have an important match tomorrow and I hope you’ll see what kind of player he is. I don’t need to apologize to Cooper for anything,” answered Barbarez.
The Welsh asked our coach and how he commented on the fact that their coach Bellamy watched some BiH players in preparation for the match. movies.
“I wouldn’t make a big story out of it. We watched their films more than ours. It’s a completely normal thing to deal with a country that is your opponent in the preparation of a match, to study everything. It’s very interesting to me and I’m honored that the Wales coach is preparing for us in this way.
The Wales – BiH match will be played tomorrow at 20:45.
