FK Željezničar ahead of the match against Neftçi: Go out on the pitch and give 200 percent!

(Patria) - Ahead of the second qualifying round match for the Conference League between Željezničar and Neftçi, a press conference was held at Grbavica where Želje coach Nermin Bašić spoke.

– I am glad that you have arrived in such large numbers. There is no need to waste words about our opponent. A very serious and trophy-winning team. They have quite a few turbulences within the club itself, but we should not be deceived by that. Some things can certainly be better. They are a very serious and organized team, technically perfect. They play very well under pressure. The handicap is that they have lost their best striker. We haven't scouted a better striker in a long time, a phenomenal player for a top-five league.

Their coach is a big name as a player. He really likes to play football and to attack. He is ready to change three or four formations during the match. He had a lot of time. It is visible that his team is now very compact. When he was not the coach, they were quite wide and disorganized. We have very big problems with the playing squad; for this match, Semir Štilić will certainly be out, we are not sure, and the medical staff is doing their best for Rustemović, Gasal, Cocalić. That does not mean I will be negative. We will fight, we will give our best – Bašić began.

First-team player of the Blues, Sulejman Krpić, said that the atmosphere in the team is good.

"Since I returned, there has been no problem. We are thinking positively, especially since the boss has brought many positive things. All praise regarding that. As the boss said, they are a very quality team. They like to play a lot. We have prepared as far as we are concerned, so tomorrow we need to go out and give 200%. We need to listen to what the boss asks of us. Tomorrow we are going for a win. We will give our all – said Krpić.
