The Vidi head coach and goalkeeper Adam Kovacsik met the media on Wednesday afternoon.
MOL Vidi FC will take on Chelsea on Thursday 13th December at the Groupama Arena in Budapest. The important group stage match will kick off at 18:55pm. Manager Marko Nikolic and keeper Adam Kovacsik were present to meet the media.
Marko Nikolic:
"It will be a big game for us tomorrow. Back in September nobody thought that this game would have any importance going into the final match. We have represented Hungarian football well in Europe. Just like BATE, we have 6 points and now come up against the most difficult opponents, Chelsea FC. My players have shown previously that they can come up with wonders and now they have the chance to do the same against the Londoners. I feel that a point on Thursday would be something great. I am sure that the players will go out onto the pitch with special motivation tomorrow. It will also be a full house. There so called 'B' team would be champions in several leagues around the world. If they do not bring Hazard or Pedro or even Kante, then Fabregas would play. If Giroud does not play, they have Morata and so on. I cannot guarantee the result tomorrow but I have no doubt that we will all give our maximum against Chelsea" - explained Marko Nikolic.
Adam Kovácsik:
"I am looking forward to the game tomorrow. I wanted to play in the first game at Stamford Bridge. However, fate had it that I was recovering at the time from injury so I was on the bench. It will be a game like many others played on a good pitch in front of many supporters. I can promise you in the name of the team that we will all give 100%. We will see if that is enough. We have already achieved something that nobody was counting on. This is especially if you consider how hard it was in the summer to beat Dudelange. We then had the game with Ludogorets, and you could hear people saying we still had the Europa League qualifiers to play, but when we met Malmö, and we managed to beat them just like we did Ludogorets." - commented keeper Adam Kovacsik.
