Partizan coach Florin Bratu spoke at a press conference before the match against Dinamo.
After the victory over Vllaznia, you will face Dinamo City –
Bratu: It is the first derby that we will play this season and it is very important for us to have a positive reaction after the victory over Vllaznia. We will face one of the teams that played in the European Cups. We will need a lot of concentration from all the players, as tomorrow we expect a very difficult match. I also want to say that everything has gone well in terms of preparations during this week and we are looking forward to tomorrow's match with great interest.
There will be changes to the lineup for tomorrow's match –
Bratu: We will wait today as well. I have not yet decided on the starting lineup, because all the players have shown good physical form during this week. All the players have the chance to play.
Match schedule –
Bratu: It won't be easy as the temperatures will be high at that time. But we know that there is no lighting at the Vora stadium and for that reason we will play at the scheduled time.
In two weeks you will face Dinamo City and Egnatia. What does Partizani want to take from these two challenges –
Bratu: First we have the match with Dinamo City and I don't want to think about the match with Egnatia. But on Friday I want to say that you will see Partizan fight with every team. This is my idea for the moment. You know the club's objectives. We are one of the biggest clubs in Albania and it is normal to fight for the title, the cup and participation in European cups.
How much does it help you that the team has changed a little compared to other teams?
Bratu: It's something positive. We have players with a lot of experience and I have a lot of confidence in them. During the transfer market this year, we brought in players in the positions we needed.
You talked to Fadairo about the type of schemes that coach Daja applies –
Bratu: It's normal to talk to Fadairo about the Dinamo coach. Some Partizan players have also worked with coach Daja before. I think it's normal, but these are our secrets.
