Before the match:
Ambros Martin -head-coach (Győr):
” We had a two weeks break in CL and we tried to use it as good as possible. The team has played two matches in the Hungarian League, we had worked on our defense and we managed to hold the number of received goals very low, which satisfies me.
In Slovenia I expect a difficult match, even if the opponent is facing problems with their economy and other players has left the club. The most important thing is to keep up our focus during the whole game, to control the game, be agressive and fight until the end.
The team is looking forward to the match since we had this break I mentioned, everybody is ready for the battle.”
