Uhrin: We decided in the first match
The coach of Mladá Boleslav came at the press conference held in the elegant and purposeful press room of Ullevaal stadium in a smart suit while his counterpart Rekdal dashed into the press centre wearing a sweat through sport T-shirt and short trousers. Instead of conceited superiority, he was trembling with hardly hidden anger when he congratulated to his more successful counterpart on promotion.
The coach of Mladá Boleslav Uhrin emphasized the importance of the successful twenty minutes a week ago. "The first match when we created the necessary lead which we managed to defend in Oslo was decisive for us to get through", responded Uhrin to the wish to assess both matches between Mladá Boleslav and Valerenga Oslo. He commented the return match by saying that his team went into the match with effort to play actively in which the players succeeded. "The players played what we had said before the match in the first half and gave the opposite side no chance for scoring except for the last minute. And we controlled the match also after the break until Abrahám's sending off", added Uhrin who was satisfied with his team playing what they needed even after weakening.
The Norwegian coach Rekdal regretted the denied goal from the 8th minute when his players scored from an offside position. "We started well and if the referees would have accepted that goal, all would have been quite different. Now with the total score of 3:5, I must admit that the rival deserves going through". After a direct question what are chances of Mladá Boleslav in the duel against Galatasaray according to him, he recognized the strength of the defeater. "The chances of Mladá Boleslav against Galatasaray are fifty to fifty", he said.
