Dermendzhiev from Georgia: The hosts will be enthusiastic, but that does not worry us  - 1

Ludogorets head coach Georgi Dermendzhiev said that the management has spoken with the players and there can be no underestimation in the rematch against Dinamo Batumi from the first qualifying round of the Champions League, BTA reported.

Ludogorets will visit Georgia on Wednesday evening. Razgrad won 3:1 in the first match on Bulgarian soil.

"We have enough information about the opponent. I think that Ludogorets is well prepared. For us, in principle, this result is a good tournament result. But in the end, I think we will have an extremely difficult match and we have to be 100 percent concentrated," said Dermendzhiev at the press conference before the match in Batumi, and later held an official training session at the stadium where the match will be played.

When asked what problems Dynamo caused to Ludogorets in the first match, the specialist answered: "Dynamo are a very good team. They control the ball well and I think they will do everything they can to break us down. Especially here on home turf. And with the support of the fans that will come, they will be a different team than they were in Razgrad."

And when asked when the new addition Agibu Kamara can appear on the field, Dermendzhiev said: "We are concentrated here around the match. True, we have incoming transfers. Specifically for the new addition - he is not well prepared, he will need time and the documents will also need to be in order. I think this will happen in the fastest way. You know that with us, when the transfer happens, then it is understood."

The coach of Ludogorets was adamant that he has no worries about the atmosphere in Georgia. "No, personally I have no worries. The hosts will be thrilled to have support."

"We have spoken to the players, there can be no underestimation of this match. You know very well, and we have enough experience of results that are much bigger, so that the other team can qualify. We must be extremely focused on the game", concluded Georgi Dermendzhiev.
