Marko Nikolic: “It will be a tight battle over spring for first place”

“We managed to work according to the plans in Spain for two weeks. The facilities were great and the weather was also perfect. The hotel and pitches were all fine, and I was satisfied with preparations. However, this was only pre-season and the main thing is that we can see the results of this in competitive games. The spring also sees us in the Hungarian Cup, while we are 5 points off top place so there will be a tight battle for first place. For us to reach our target will mean that we have to pick up the three points against Puskas Academy this evening. Our opponents have changed manager and there have been some changes to their squad. We do not have to focus with this but we have taken every chance available to do our homework on our opponents. We will need to keep our attitude, discipline and organisation in the match to get the three points" - commented manager Marko Nikolic ahead of the first league game of the spring season.
