"I think the performance was OK - not top. We had enough chances to win the game. We were very well organised. We knew it was not easy to create chances and score goals. We had chances to score at least two, credit to the keeper. We were dominant but set-plays were not easy with the wind and credit to them."
"It's the first leg and the (tie) will be (decided) in Cyprus. We will play the third game against them and it's time to score. We will maybe change a few things. It's clear if they (only) concede one in the group stage they won't concede three or four against us tonight. Maybe we have to wake up to their style a little bit."
