"It should not be forgotten that each team qualifies for the Eurocup through the domestic championship or cup. This means that they are serious and high-quality opponents."
İdman.biz reports that this was said by Albert Riera, the head coach of the Slovenian club "Selye".
He assessed his team's rivalry with "Sabah" in the Europa League. Riera said in an interview on the club's official website that he believes in his players: "In the first stage, we will play against Azerbaijan's "Sabah". Since we have a lot of time before the match against them, we will be able to comprehensively analyze the opponent. The name of the opponent in the second qualifying stage is also known. We believe in ourselves because we performed very well in every match against high-quality opponents last season."
The head coach of "Selye", who advanced to the 1/4 finals of the Conference League last season, emphasized that their goals are high this year as well: "The result we achieved last season was fantastic. We wrote the history of Slovenian club football, which not only the club, but the whole country can be proud of. This means a lot to us. As I always like to say - you can't live in the past in football. Every season you have to find new motivation, set new goals and do everything to achieve them. We will start the new season with the same goal. We know who we are, we are not afraid of any opponent. Because we have proven that we can compete with any team."
It should be noted that "Sabah" will play its first game with "Selye" at home on July 10, and the return match will be held away a week later.
