Georgy Milanov: We have high expectations for the match against Roma

— We're in good mood prior to the match, — Milanov told pfc-cska.com. — We are happy to start the new Champions League campaign and have high expectations for this game. Obviously Roma has a very strong squad. The absence of suspended Daniele de Rossi is good for us, though it won't be the major factor tomorrow.

I haven't played against Roma yet. We are not worried ahead of the match, we studied the game of Italian vice-champions and prepared well.

It seems that I'm going to play in the defensive midfielder position, as I was in the match against Arsenal from Tula. It's a familiar position for me, I feel comfortable there. We had a good mutual understanding with Bibars Natcho in the last game.

Obviously we are counting on our supporters. We are aware that nearly one thousand of our fans are coming to Stadio Olimpico and we hope that they will support us in the best way possible.
