Roland Juhasz: I am counting on it be a battling game

The Videoton team captain previews Thursday's important EL Play Off, 1st leg match in Belgrade.

"I believe it will be two real battling games against Partizan in the Europa League play off's. I feel that in the first game the two sides will not go at each other, but rather both teams will play football carefully. Marko Nikolic has gone into fine detail to prepare us for Partizan. We do not want to fall into the mistake like we did in the first leg match away in Bordeaux, when we did not start the game the way we would have liked to. We have not conceded a goal in our last three matches, so I hope that this series will continue on Thursday evening in Belgrade. We really want to score a goal away from home, as we experienced the importance of this in that game in Bordeaux. This will not be my first game that I have had to played behind closed doors. I do not like these kind of games, as football is about supporters and without them it is not real. I was a player for Anderlecht 7 years ago in a Champions League play off game at the home of Partizan. I know just what kind of atmosphere would have been waiting for us, but I would still say despite this that I would have gladly played in full stadium than one that is virtually empty" - commented Roland Juhasz.
