It’s good, I prefer players like that to those who are happy with their contract by being on the bench. We have a good mentality, there is a good atmosphere in the group, and I feel that we are on the right path. »»

We know their philosophy and that of Pocognoli, we know that it will be a difficult match. It is a team that puts pressure from the first minute and that does not siege like Genk. We saw that they scored on stopped phase, they have four or five players of 1.90 m. We analyze what they are doing, ”concluded Mircea Rednic.
