Our Hungarian national team player said that they are working hard to surprise Cologne for the second time.
"We have the most important match of the last four years. After winning the championship in 2018, we didn't make the play-offs in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, losing to AEK Athens, but we still qualified for the Europa League group stage and played memorable games against Chelsea and PAOK. Only once since then have we been as close as we are now to the main draw of a European cup competition, so it's no wonder we're looking forward to Thursday. In fact, we have the advantage, but a goal at this level doesn't mean much. Especially when you're up against a team as good as Cologne, who are playing in one of the world's top leagues. And let's be honest: the Bundesliga is stronger than the National League, so on paper the Germans are the favourites. However, we have already surprised them once and we are now working with the team that has helped us so much to do it again. I can promise you one thing: we will do everything we can to qualify. I hope we can play in front of a full house, if only because in this game we are fighting not only for Székesfehérvár, but also for Hungary," - Loic Nego told Nemzeti Sport.
