According to Giorgi Devdariani, head coach of “Dila” Gori, draw against “Hajduk” Split will be good for the Georgian club in the third qualifying round of Europa League. According to the press service of “Dila”, Devdariani stated about it at the pre-match press conference. Irakli Modebadze, forward of “Dila”, also attended the press conference.
- What do you expect tomorrow?
Giorgi Devdariani: “We will be happy to go through to the next round. I think draw in Split will be good result”.
- According to the head coach of “Hajduk”, it does not matter that his team plays the second match away. How do you think?
- I agree with him. It does not matter where you play the first match or the second one. However, I think the team which plays the second match home has a little advantage.
- “Dila” will hold the second match in Tbilisi but it is not the club’s native city. Does it make some discomfort to you?
- “Dila” is from Gori but we could not play there. It would be better if we played in Gori because a lot of fans would have come to the stadium. But I want to say that we will not be left without fans.
- How well do you know “Hajduk”? Which player can be dangerous for you?
- I have watched some games of “Hajduk”. I want to mention that this club does not depend on individual players. “Hajduk” plays team game. Of course, I can distinguish some players but I repeat the club plays team game and it is its strength.
- Perhaps, you know what atmosphere will be on the stadium tomorrow.
- Of course, I know and we are ready for it. We know fans will support their favorite team.
- How do you think is “Hajduk” stronger than “Aalborg” of Denmark?
Irakli Modebadze: “I think “Hajduk” is stronger but head coach can answer this question better. I am concentrated only on the game”.
- How do you like “Hajduk” and what will you say about its players?
- I like the team. I cannot say anything about the players but the team is good and we will face tough match.
“Dila” practiced on “Poljud” stadium. The practice lasted 45 minutes. Irakli Modebadze also participated in it. The upcoming match will start at 23:00 on 1 August.
