Ivaylo Petev: Olimpija is a good team, but everything depends on us

26 July 2023

Ludogorets coach Ivaylo Petev gave a press conference before hosting Olimpiйa Ljubljana in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.

"We can't choose the conditions, we hope it will be a bit cooler at 21:45, but no matter what the temperature will be, it will be the same for both teams. We have a very serious opponent in front of us, so we have to present ourselves at a level and get a good result," Petev began.

Regarding the bad start of the season, he commented: "Such moments happen to every team. I hope we have learned from both losses. Our last two games showed that we have found the right rhythm. I believe in all the boys who will take part, that they will perform at a high level. The truth was that we played shamefully. We have to tell ourselves the truth and keep it in our ear and know that when we don't approach with concentration, it is very likely that such results will happen".

"I watched a lot of Olimpija games. They have a new coach for a month and a half now. Every person is different. I said at the beginning that this is a pretty good team. They have a lot of good players, but it is important how we will allow them to develop their potential. It all depends on us. When you go through hard times, you have to learn a lesson. This has already been experienced by us. We played two good games with energy and I think the boys will perform good," Petev said.

"When it all comes down to Sundberg, you'll be the first to know. The match is important. Everyone can say what they want and they have every right to do it. You know how things happen with us - when there is something sppecific, it will be known. Kwadwo Duah is ready to play against Olimpija. It is quite possible to have outgoing transfers with us. The transfer window ends in a month and a half, so anything can happen," he added.

"Everyone puts effort into training. I decide who will play when. I'm happy with the group, but it's important in the matches," Petev added when asked about Todor Nedelev.
