Adrie Koster, head coach of “Brugge”, held the press conference at “Jan Breydel Stadium”.

Adrie Koster (head coach of “Brugge”): “Overcoming this round is very important for us. If we do not do this, it will be tragedy not mistake. We will not play for 0:0 and 1:1 because we might be punished for it.

I am sure “Zestafoni” will do its best because this team equalized 0:2 in Tbilisi. Now, our opponent is in a better condition because it rested at the championship”.

Belgian head coach talked about his players’ health. According to him, he did not let Lior Rafaelov play in the championship match on Sunday. Koster stated that Rafaelov would play in today’s match. As for 33-year-old Serbian goalkeeper Vladan Kujovic, he injured hand and he will not be in the list.

In the end, Koster stated: “Our team has such a big history that we should overcome this round for sure”.

Giorgi Chiabrishvili, head coach of “Zestafoni”, and Nikoloz Gelashvili, player of “Zestafoni”, showed up at the press conference at 20:15 local time. At first, Gelashvili answered questions of journalists:

“The team is ready for playing. As for chances, both teams have equal chances”.

Giorgi Chiabrishvili (acting head coach of “Zestafoni”): “We have very serious opponent and the team is preparing for it. If we play as we did in Tbilisi, we have more chance of going through the group round.

We know what “Brugge” can do. We watched many videos of their matches”.

After the press conference, Georgians trained at “Jan Breydel Stadium”. Perhaps, history can be repeated and the team trained by Gia Geguchadze might play in the group round of Europa League again.
