Ludogorets introduced May Mahlangu and Junior Brandao to all the fans. This happened prior to the rematch against Torpedo (Kutaisi), which was part of the Europa League playoffs. Ludogorets won the game with a 4:0 score and qualified for the group phase.

Mahlangu is resident player of the SAR national team, came from the Romanian elite team Dinamo (Bucharest), and 23-year-old Brandao was part of the Brazilian Atletico Goianiense.

The Ludogorets head manager Paulo Autuori is feeling optimistic about the upcoming rematch against Torpedo (Kutaisi), which is part of the Europa League playoffs. The Brazilian specialist knows that it will not be easy.

“It is nice that we won the first game in Georgia, but it does not mean that the final score is determined. We need to be focused and careful’, said Autuori.

He is certain that all the players are ready for the rematch.

‘The players were a bit exhausted after the last tough games. They all got the chance to rest and our last practice session was very good’, Autuori added.
