Ivaylo Petev: We have to go smartly against Nordsjælland

Ludogorets coach Ivaylo Petev speaks at a press conference for the visit of Nordsjælland in the second round of the Conference League group stage.

"Nordsjælland is a pretty nice team. I have been following him for over 5 or 6 years. They always have 3-4 young African talents. They play football no matter the score. The thing that is important is what we will do tomorrow and what we will allow them to do. I expect us to score one goal more than them. We have to approach extremely smartly. Everything can happen tomorrow," were Petev's first words.

"To what extent the artificial grass will be a plus for them, we will see in the meeting. We must not fall into the trap. Hopefully my experience will play a part against the opposing coach. We should not underestimate any situation. They have class, even though they are young footballers. There are no young and old. They have quite a few good players, but of course, it's largely how we counter. I hope we perform well and look for a first win against a Scandinavian team," he added.

"The main thing is the alignment in defense, the unforced errors to decrease. Some footballers have had enough, there may be changes for this reason, they are all human. It is completely normal for some to feel tired. It is very possible that there will be some new faces in tomorrow's game. Every match is important, we have to approach concentrated and mobilized", concluded the coach of the 12-time champions.
