Zoran Barisic, head coach of “Rapid” Vienna, stated that they should defeat “Dila” Gori in the first match of UEFA Europe Play Off.

“Dila” Gori acts with 5-3-2 tactic and plays very compact game. “Dila” is better team than “Asteras”. We wish to play good and to go to Georgia with victory next week.”

The head coach had not decided yet if he allows forward Terrence Boyd, whose shoulder was injured, to play.

“He is having trainings but it does not mean that he is 100% ready to play. We will discuss and solve if we let him play.”

Mario Sonleitner, defender of Austrians, stated that “Rapid” must play with whole concentration.

“We expect our rival play from defense. But it’s very dangerous in contra-attack. That’s why we should be very concentrative. We learned a lot of information about “Dila” Gori and relevantly we know weak points of our rival. We have one more chance to reach group stage of Europe League and we want to use it. It does not matter which team we met, we see banner of Europe League and we just want to win”.

Helmut Schulte, sport director of “Rapid” considers the match against “Dila” interesting:

“It is always interesting to play against the rival, which is not very famous. We want to win in order to meet responsive match in a good condition.”
