The head coach of Ludogorets, Georgi Dermendzhiev, stated that the recipe for Ludogorets to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League is very simple - to win. "The recipe for Ludogorets to qualify for the Champions League group stage is very simple - to win," said Dermendzhiev.

"It's natural that we've scouted Dinamo just as they know what we as a team are about. There is nothing that surprises us. We have had a very good preparation, I think we are ready. Dinamo has two official matches, and we don't have such," he added.

“Management always aims high. Not only the management, but also the team. From the very beginning, we have stated that we have to go as far as possible in Europe. Duah will most likely not be ready for the first match," added the coach of the Bulgarian champion.

"We will not be surprised at all, we are very familiar with Dinamo. A very good team, playing modern football. I think that Georgia as a nation is also on the rise. A very serious and difficult match is comming," he added.

When asked whether Ludogorets will be able to keep some of its main players, in whom there is interest from other teams at least until the end of the qualifications in the European club tournaments, Georgi Dermendzhiev answered: "It will be so!".

"Always the first game is extremely difficult to get started. We have no choice and we have to start the first game with a bang. Both us and Dinamo are watching us. We know their new competitors. We have watched their matches from the championship, we have also watched their last matches. We are looking at more players and I think there will be more new additions to the team. The new additions are starting to adapt and get used to our game," said Dermendzhiev.

"I cannot compare the game of Dinamo Batumi to any Bulgarian team. What sets them apart is that they play very quickly with the ball and move very quickly into forward positions. They have their own style of play, they keep it to themselves, they play very fast and that brings them success so far," said Ludogorets captain Anton Nedyalkov. "All football players have been waiting all year for exactly these matches. There should be no understatement. Everyone is highly motivated so that we can prove ourselves on the big stage. We have to win, no matter in what way," commented Nedyalkov.

"Every year is different. We go in a different way. New footballers are coming. Every year is different. The teams we play with are different. The attitude is the same – to go as far as possible and qualify for the group stages of the given tournaments," he added.

"The national team of Georgia performed very well and this will be an additional motivation for them. If we are sufficiently motivated and disciplined, we should not have any problem", concluded Nedyalkov.
