After losing to “Thun” of Switzerland at the second qualifying round of Europa League, Soso Pruidze, head coach of “Chikhura” Sachkhere, stated that his team has a chance of going through to the next round.

“We have a good chance in the second match. We will play in Tbilisi and our fans will come to the stadium”, - the Swiss press cites the words of Pruidze. 3114 fans attended “Thun”-“Chikhura” match.

“Perhaps, this result does not satisfy us before the responsive match. But everything depends on us because we have better position. After the first goal we lost concentration. It must not happen next time. We could not keep ball in the first line”, - stated Enrico Schirinzi who scored goal against “Chikhura”.

Urs Fischer, head coach of “Thun”, mentioned that his team is not ready to play for 90 minutes:

“Nowadays, we are not ready to play for 90 minutes. We have time before the start of the championship. On Sunday we play “St. Gallen” and we want to gain the first points at the championship”.

Two days after the match against “St. Gallen”, “Thun” will arrive in Georgia by charter flight. The team will stop in Bucharest and will arrive in 10 hours.

“I said it is problem for us to play at Europa League. This flight proves it but I am happy because I have never been to Tbilisi”, - stated Fischer.
