“These players who are interested will stay until the end of our participation in the European tournaments. The fact is that we are looking at more players and I think there will be more additions to the team in terms of reinforcements.”
This is what the coach of “Ludogorets” Georgi Dermendzhiev said on the eve of round I of the Champions League. The hegemon started the campaign by hosting the Georgian “Dynamo” (Batumi). The first match is tomorrow at 21:00 in Razgrad. The second leg is in a week.
“Always the first game extremely difficult to start. But in the end we don’t have a choice and we have to attack from the start. What do we know about the opponent’s game? The team is full of foreigners, we follow them, they follow us. We know their new ones, we have watched their matches in the championship and the last matches in general,” Dermendzhiev said.
Out of the first game is the star of Razgrad Kwadvo Dua. He was with the Swiss national team, which was eliminated at the end of the week in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 by England.
Asked if the management had set a mandatory target of getting into the Champions League groups, the experienced specialist replied: “The management has always set targets. The further we get in Europe, the better.”
