Marko Nikolic: A difficult road leads to a big success

"It is a very important game ahead of us against serious opponents. BATE have more experience of the European stage than we do. They won 2-0 in Budapest in September thanks to the experience. However, we have since picked up 6 points and 2 wins to sit in second place in the group. We are motivated and I can see this in my players that they are looking forward to the game. I have said many times and I confirm this again that we are real fighters and my team will battle for the good result. I have said so many times that we have a really good group here. I can see that the players are confident and they can feel that we can achieve a good result. Naturally there is pressure and we know what is at stake. I have spoken about this as well several times that I like it when it is like this. If there is no pressure, there is nothing at stake. We have already achieved more than the people thought we would but I want us to be even more successful. It will be really hard for us today but there is a difficult road to the big success." - commented Marko Nikolic
