On July 29, a press conference was held in Yerevan by the head coach of "Pyunik," Yeghishe Melikyan, before the return game against North Macedonian "Struga" in the Conference League qualifiers.
Let us remind you that the first match ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of "Struga."
Yeghishe Melikyan's press conference.
— What surprised you about the opponent in the first match?
— It's hard to surprise us. We can tactically prepare for matches and analyze our opponents well. The quality of their field surprised us, as it was very poor and leveled the playing field. We were at fault for our defeat, and "Struga" took advantage of our mistakes. We have been heavily criticized this week, and we deserved that criticism. But I am reassured by the fact that "Pyunik" is a team with character and knows how to win. We know how to save tomorrow's game and will do everything to advance to the next round.
— How ready is Serge Deblé to play?
— Yes, he is ready to play. In the last match, he could have played, but we were left shorthanded, so he didn't fit into that style of play. Tomorrow we will definitely put him on the field.
The match between "Pyunik" and "Struga" will take place on July 30 in Yerevan at 20:00 local time.
