Omonia’s coach, Henning Berg, in remarks he made during the customary press conference.
The Norwegian coach emphasized that he wants his team to dominate the match, spoke about the improvements the entire squad needs to make in the attacking third, and highlighted the competitive dynamics.
In detail: “We’re looking forward to the match at our home stadium. We’ll give it our all to advance. We drew the first leg; now, at home, we want to seal our qualification. We want to dominate the match under different conditions than the difficult ones we faced at Lincoln’s home stadium.”
On the area that needs improvement: “The area where we need to improve is in our attacking third. We had possession in the first match but fell short. We created some chances. It was positive that we scored, but we’ll also have to see how the opponent plays—whether they’ll play higher up the field or deeper. We’re focused on ourselves and what we’re going to do.”
On team news: “Ondubajo is continuing his rehabilitation program; he won’t be available. I expect Aiting to be available; he’s been working hard and has had good training sessions. The three players who were suspended are also returning.”
On the new signings: “It’s positive that we’ve managed to strengthen the team with two players. Satka is an experienced player; he’s coming in to replace Aguzul. He’s had strong performances with experienced teams, but he’ll need time to get back into shape since he didn’t train over the summer. Duvern is equally talented—he even played in the World Cup. He’s coming in to play on the wings and can make a real contribution.”
