"That Sabah plays at home like Barcelona." Before the match, the coach of the guests from Prague, Jindrich Trpišovsky, said that "Sabah plays at home like Barcelona." #LigaPrvaka #ClubBrugge #IvanLeko (translated)
Inter coach Cristian Chivu, after the fourth consecutive defeat in the Champions League, listed a number of factors that were poor in his team's performance and approach, but he did not miss the opportunity to praise Leko, believing that Club Brugge adapted better to all situations and punished their mistakes with surgical precision. #LigaPrvaka #ClubBrugge #IvanLeko (translated)
- We will be brave but also smart, and we do not plan to significantly change our philosophy. We will play to win - Leko said and assured his players that Inter is not a monster, meaning they are good enough to compete with them equally. - Some may think our style of play is naive and risky, but I was guided by instinct. It's not easy to visit Inter and play "man-to-man," and it's easy to end up losing to Inter and admitting they are better. Still, I hoped for a positive outcome because the players insisted that they really like this tactical approach - said Ivan Leko after what is probably the greatest or at least the most notable victory in his coaching career. - Inter had many chances, but we did too. Luck must be earned, and I am incredibly proud of my guys. This is truly a big deal for Belgian football, and we must enjoy this. And this is not accidental, but the product of good work in the club over the past years, which we want to continue in the upcoming matches - concluded Leko. #LigaPrvaka #ClubBrugge #IvanLeko (translated)
