Henning Berg: "We will do our best in tomorrow's match to qualify for the next round"

"We are looking forward to tomorrow's match. We played well against Torpedo, we had a good result. I can say the same about Araz-Nakhchivan. They played well against Aris at home and away. We have to play well in tomorrow's match."

Idman.biz reports that the head coach of Omonia, Henning Berg, said this at the press conference held before the first match of the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League against Araz-Nakhchivan in Baku.

- In your opinion, how did Araz-Nakhchivan manage to beat Aris? I guess you looked at these two matches when you analyzed?

- I think Araz-Nakhchivan has quality, good players. They played a good team game. Also, they fought very well. The team's energy is very high. I would say that these were the main factors.

- In the previous stage, Araz-Nakhchivan's opponent was shown as the favorite. Now Omonia is also the favorite. Doesn't this bother you?

- There is always a favorite among the teams in the games. But for coaches and players, it's a little different. The important thing is that the team is in the best shape and shows its best game. Araz-Nakhchivan is a good team. It is no coincidence that they played 2 beautiful games. They were superior to Aris. We will do our best in tomorrow's match to qualify for the next round. There is no point in talking about who is the favorite.

- Omonia has faced Azerbaijani teams several times. The last time they faced Zira. What is the difference between that Omonia and the current one?

- It is difficult to evaluate the teams of two different seasons. This team performed successfully in the qualifying stages last season.

- How do you see the chances in tomorrow's match?

- I'm not a mathematician. It's hard to say anything. Two difficult games await us. If Aris had passed Araz-Nakhchivan, I am sure they would have been the favorites. Now that they have surpassed Aris, who is the favorite? We don't want to think about these things. We want to prepare for tomorrow's game.

- Do you have any losses related to tomorrow's match?

- Tasos is injured. Francis Uzoho was unable to get a visa. He will arrive tonight.

- It was claimed that you could become the head coach of Neftchi at the beginning of last season. Why didn't it happen?

- Sometimes there are rumors, sometimes there are interested parties, sometimes there are those who are not interested.

- Have you looked at the grass cover of the field?

- Not yet, I haven't seen it. We will see it soon.
