“My fears were related to the fact that we could lose the game rhythm since we did not play any matches for 10 days, while the opponent had a tough tournament last week. However, both teams, in the end, had their pluses and minuses in the game. The Polish team was tired, also because of the long journey. Therefore, the most important thing was to start the game well, with the right mood and putting pressure on the opponent. For them, it was a great loss that Wlazly suffered that injury. He trained yesterday, everything was fine, and today we were surprised because Mariusz’s name did not appear on those listed for the game. Skra with Wlazly and without him is like two different teams” said Plamen Konstantinov, head coach of Lokomotiv.
