The player who attended the press conference with coach Andrea Stramaccioni was goalkeeper Vid Belec, who most likely will start tomorrows game instead of Samir Handanovic who is not in the squad for the game against Rubin Kazan. Here is the young Slovenian’s words from the press conference: “For me it’s a great opportunity to prove myself, but I’m sure that everyone who plays will do their best.”
Although the two teams have already qualified for the next round Belec does not expect an easy game: “It will be a tough game, the goalkeeper should expect to get a whole lot to do.”
Belec only played in the homegame against Vaslui where he had to replace the expelled Castellazzi. In that game he distinguished himself by making a mistake that gave Vaslui 1-2. In this match, he will play from the first minute and promises that it will be a different story: “To start a game is completely different, you face the game in a completely different way, mentally it is a different thing.”
