Iliev is looking forward to the full stands in Gorica: It is not important that the fans will be against us, but only that there should be a good atmosphere

"There's nothing nicer than going out in front of full stands, that's football - that's what I told my players. Football is played for the fans. That's why I don't think it will be a problem for us, it's possible that it will be a plus."

From the special reporter "Vijesti"

CSKA 1948 has the advantage after the first 90 minutes, but the coach of the "army team" Valentin Iliev knows that nothing has been decided yet in the duel against Budućnost.

"I think it was a quality match, two very good teams played, in my opinion. Nothing is resolved. Another difficult match awaits us. I think we have players who know what they need to do in order to make it to the next round." , Iliev said.

In the first match of the 2nd round of qualification for the Conference League, Buducnost was defeated 1:0 by the club from Sofia - now they will have a chance for a new turnaround in front of their fans, and the CSKA 1948 strategist is looking forward to the good atmosphere in Gorica.

"There will certainly be a completely different atmosphere in Podgorica, but what could be nicer than playing in front of full stands? I played football and it didn't matter to me whether I played only in front of my own fans or visiting fans, but only that there was a good atmosphere," says Iliev .

He continued in a similar vein…

"There's nothing nicer than going out in front of full stands, that's football - that's what I told my players. Football is played for the fans. That's why I don't think it will be a problem for us, it's possible that it will be a plus," Iliev concluded. .
