Left-back Nikola Antic ahead of Gent: -In some ways, we played good. We did concede but we have a chance to go through to the group stage. This is a turning point of the season for us and it`s very important we return home successfully. It`s so important for both club and the country. Gent have pace and young players knowing what they are after. We scouted them well and worked on tactical bits to outsmart them. For example, Lugano is organized side with a system in place; Gent is also there but they rely on individual quality more. I hope we`ll be able to respond in that department, they know we have quality players too. It` really important we enter the game in a firm fashion, to play in such manner for 90 or 120 minutes, to show our character. We are engage in intensive work since the start of the season, group here is good and I hope things will turn out well for us finally. Midfielder Stefan Kovac made his Partizan debut against Gent home: -I expect us to go through, there`s not much to say there. We lacked a bit of character and luck regarding our finishing in the first leg. Things will happen when you work hard. |
