BATE train at the Groupama Arena

FK BATE Borisov arrived to Hungary on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's Europa League group stage match. Manager Aleksey Baga and Nemaja Milunovic faced the media at 17:30pm. 

Aleksey Baga:

"We have watched the games of MOL Vidi FC. They are a strong side that has faced serious opponents like Dudelange, Ludogorets and Malmö and have gone through. We are talking about a well organised opponent with international players. It will be a difficult game."

Nemanja Milunovic:

"We have several injured players and Aleksandr Hleb and Nikolai Signevich did not travel with us to Hungary. We will have to face Vidi without them. However, our squad is still strong enough without these players and there are others that will grab the chance and show they have a place in the team. I read in the Serbian papers about Danko Lazovic, but honestly I am not sure that he will end his playing career now or at the end of the season. We need to respect his decision and I wish him lots of luck in the future."

BATE then held a training session at the Groupama Arena following the press conference. The first 15 minutes were open to the media.
