The Astana-Balkani match is played on Thursday at 16:30 and belongs to the fourth round of Group C of the Conference League. The Balkan team intends to return to Kosovo with full points from Kazakhstan. The coach of the Kosovo champions, Ilir Daja, has insisted that the Balkans traveled to Kazakhstan to win.
At the press conference, he mentioned the advantages that Astana has in the duel against his team, but emphasized that the Balkans did not travel to Astana with a "white flag".
" If we compare, Astana has more experience than us in European competitions. There are more international matches than us. We participate for the second time in European competitions. It is more difficult for us to travel, as Astana has favorable climate and public support. Therefore, we expect a difficult match, but we have not come to surrender. Despite the difficulties, we will also seek the maximum in this match.
Of course we like to win, but it is a difficult game. Astana has a pretty good team, both physically and tactically. But I cannot give a percentage who will win the match, because football is a sport, not an exact science. I prepare my team to enter the field to win the match .
Field?
It's not a big problem, since we as locals also play on the field with synthetic grass. The advantage will only be the support of the public, but it will also be good for us, since football is played for the public and we will try to use this opportunity ", said coach Ilir Daja.
