BENCE GERGÉNYI

"The biggest mistake would be to underestimate our opponent"

Our team's left sided defender was interviewed immediately after the Conference League draw.

"I followed the draw live on UEFA's website and although I don't have much information about our Azeri opponents yet, I know they have a lot of foreign players and I think the biggest mistake would be to underestimate them. I am sure the coaching staff will map them out in great detail and I am looking forward to the match with confidence. In the morning I had a quick run through of our potential opponents after the draw, but as I didn't know most of the teams in depth, I didn't have a "wish list" either. I have only been to Azerbaijan once before in my life, in 2018 we played the U21 national team in a 3-3 draw in Baku. I played in the Conference League qualifiers for the first time last year, then for ZTE, and this will be my first summer cup game with Vidi. Of course, we are motivated for the match, it will be a good test for us" - said Bence Gergényi after it was decided that we will play against Sumqayit FK from Azerbaijan in the 2nd qualifying round of the CL.
