Balazs Borbely, the head coach of Ferencvaros, who will face Trabzonspor in the UEFA Europa League play-off round second leg, made statements about his team's tactical approach at the pre-match press conference.

We Do Not Intend to Defend the Score

Ferencvaros Head Coach Balazs Borbely clearly stated in his pre-match remarks ahead of the Trabzonspor encounter that they will not play a brand of football aimed at protecting the score.

The experienced coach emphasized that their goal is not to defend the 1-0 advantage they secured, but rather to reflect their own game philosophy on the pitch.

Spaces the Opponent Will Leave

Speaking at the press conference held at the Groupama Stadium, Borbely drew attention to the fact that Trabzonspor might leave some spaces in defense due to the influence of the score from the first leg.

The successful manager expressed that in such situations, they need to display a smart game and make the best possible use of the opportunities granted to them by their opponent.

Maximum Preparation and Motivation

Stating that every match has its own unique story, Borbely said that they also analyzed their opponent in detail ahead of the Basaksehir match.

Noting that his team needs to play at the performance level they showed in the second half in Turkey, the head coach stated that they have prepared for the contest at the highest level.

Penalty Practice and Expectations

Answering a question from members of the press about whether they have practiced penalty shootouts, Borbely conveyed that they have indeed trained for this possibility just in case.

However, the experienced manager added that he hopes the match does not go to penalties and that they want to achieve the result they desire within regular time.
