Henning Berg: A very physical Danish side awaits us

Henning Berg and Mate Patkai met the media on Wednesday afternoon.

Manager Henning Berg and midfielder Mate Patkai faced the media on Wednesday to answer questions on Thursday evening's Europa League game.

Henning Berg revealed among other things that "a very strong and physical side awaits, which plays the so called direct game. This is not only in the Europa League but also in the Danish league itself. This means that they try to play the ball forward straight away to take advantage of their physical advantage. They have tall forwards, which is why they are often dangerous with their long throws, corners and free kicks from the wings."

Mate Patkai felt that "it is not certain that we are the favourites on paper, but that the last few games showed periods when we played well. They will need to increase these periods if they are to cause a surprise."

The coaching staff then focused on the Danish opponents following the press conference, before Henning Berg went on to take the training session. The two teams held their sessions at the same time, with the Danes preparing at the Pancho Arena.
