Adam Kovacsik: "It is important that we win the first game"

The Vidi goalkeeper previews Thursday's important first leg match at the Pancho Arena.

"I am sure that it will be a difficult game against Danish side Midtjylland. We are clear with the fact that our opponents made it into the final 32 of the Europa League last season. They also comfortably went through the first two rounds of this season's competition. I do not think that we do not have a chance despite this. Perhaps the Danish side are the favourites if you go by paper form. We can compensate that with willpower and diligence. I usually prepare differently when it comes to looking at the players of the opposing side. It is important as a keeper to be clear about the players and whether they are left or right footed. Do they shoot with power or do they try to curl the ball in. As to the fact that we are the last remaining Hungarian side in the Europa League, does not place any further pressure on us. I do not think that the players feel any pressure due to this. We would have been happier had other Hungarian teams made it further. The two big games each week is a little stressful, but I would be happy if we could go through the whole of the autumn playing Thursday's and Sunday's. It is important that we do not concede any goals in the home leg, but it would not be a tragedy if the opponents do score. The most important is that we win the first leg." - commented keeper Adam Kovacsik.
