Ludogorets midfielder Ivaylo Chochev spoke to the media ahead of the decisive match against Fradi.

“We’re expecting a tough match. Ferencváros has many strong individual players. The coaches will brief us in detail about their strengths and weaknesses. The team that makes fewer mistakes will come out as the winner,” Chochev began.

“This is one of the steps we have to take. Ludogorets is used to playing under pressure in games where you have to take responsibility. We hope to gain a good advantage so we can be more at ease for the away leg,” the midfielder added.

“Jakub Piotrowski will definitely be missed. He was a leader in the team. We have to adjust to the fact that he’s no longer with us. I hope we can replace him in the best possible way,” Ivaylo Chochev concluded.
