Mario Fernandes: It is a difficult group, there will be no easy games

— It is a difficult group. There are no easy opponents, so there will be no easy games. Every football team now is well prepared. We must respect everyone. PFC CSKA did not perform well in the Europa League last year. This time we need to play more confident and without a frivolous mood. This is the only way to achieve good result.

— The tournament starts late this time, the calendar will be tight. Is the team ready for such schedule?
— Yes, we are ready for the Europa League, guys have been playing together for a long time and are eager to prove themselves. When international break ends, tight calendar will start. But good players have joined us, we have cool and top-quality team. We are ready to compete.
