Hannover winger Sergio Pinto aiming for win against FC Copenhagen in the Europa League
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Pinto-c33094 has stated that his side will play for a win in the group stage fixture against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Europa League. He admitted that the Danish giants have been in some very good form recently
and have a very good side with some quality players in their ranks.
Die Roten will take on FC Copenhagen in the next Europa League fixture at the AWD-Arena in search of their second win of the competition in this season. The club is placed second in Group-B behind Standard Liege with four points
from the two games played so far, winning one and drawing one.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pinto-c30032 insisted that Copenhagen are currently leading the Danish League and have been in impressive form off-late. He stated that the opposition can by no means be taken lightly and insisted that they are well capable of beating
any team.
The former Schalke player claimed that his side has surely learned from the match when Standard Liege downed Copenhagen and added that they now know the weak links in the team. He said that the players are looking forward to the
Europa League game and wants to win to maximise the chances to progress to the next round.
“We know something about the club. Copenhagen are the Danish league leaders with nine wins, two draws and one defeat. This is certainly a good team. But Liege has already shown us how we can beat them. I'm looking forward to Thursday's
game,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Former FC Copenhagen manager and current FC Koln boss Stale Solbakken had some tips for his former side. He claimed that the German side like to attack and are very dangerous on the counter which the Danish team has to make sure.
He further added that strike duo Didier Ya Konan and Mohammed Abdellaoue have great pace and can cause the defence all sorts of problems.
“FCK must not have too many people in front of the ball too early in the match. Hannover's team play direct and they have fast strikers in Ya Konan and Norwegian international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mohammed-Abdellaoue-c26469,” the manager said.
The match will take place at the AWD-Arena on Thursday.
