Sabah's coach Valdas Dambrauskas revealed details about the upcoming European clash with Levski during an official press conference. The specialist, known from his successful period at Ludogorets, where he won the title and Bulgarian Supercup in 2021, shared his emotional return to the country.
"Returning to Bulgaria is extremely exciting," said Dambrauskas. "Levski is a team with a rich football history and strong potential. We have observed their matches against Braga and are aware of their current state. They finished last season as the second team in the league."
The coach emphasized that previous results do not have a decisive importance for the upcoming match. "Every team has its strengths and weaknesses. Our players are extremely motivated to achieve success in the European competition," he commented.
Analyzing Levski's tactical possibilities, Dambrauskas noted: "They are a very well-balanced team with the ability to control the ball and apply effective pressing. It is an honor for us to face such an opponent."
A special emphasis in his statement was the atmosphere at the "Georgi Asparuhov" stadium. "The last time I was here, stadiums were empty due to the pandemic. Now I have the privilege of visiting with full stands," the coach shared emotionally.
Dambrauskas emphasized that his team will follow the pre-drawn plan and hopes for a positive result in this important European match from the third qualifying round of the Conference League.
