On the eve of the return match of the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League Urartu FC - NK Maribor, the coach of the Yerevan team Robert Arzumanyan answered journalists' questions at the pre-match press conference.

Coach's opinion on the first and expected match:

"The first match turned out to be difficult, but I think that we played good football, I spoke several times about the opponent, this is a very high-class team. We, in turn, throughout the match kept the image we had to play with, the guys completed the tasks that they had to complete, but tomorrow we have to play more organized, because our previous game will not be enough to get the next round. It is important that our team plays better from game to game, and at the moment my main goal is to make tomorrow's game better than the previous one. In this case, I think we will be able to defeat the opponent."

- In the first match, Urartu FC looked quite organized, in tomorrow's game the task is a little different, because you need to return what you lost, how will you find this balance in order to neutralize the difference in the score and not miss a goal?

- Of course, tomorrow we need to win, but we must not deviate, we must play our organized and correct game in defense, because if a goal is missed, everything becomes more complicated, we will try to score a goal or, even better, score a few goals.

- Two players were absent in the previous match: Jonel Desire and Arsen Beglaryan, will they be ready for tomorrow's match?

- Every player is important in our team, I hope we will defeat the opponent.

- Narek Aghasaryan and Narek Grigoryan received playing time, how do you assess their play?

- I am satisfied with the play of both, Narek Aghasaryan is a responsible player, he also played the previous match with great responsibility, and Grigoryan did the same. This was their first performance in European competition, but I did not feel any tension with them. The main thing is that the guys had a good match. In addition to games, they also perform well in training, are important footballers for our team.

- What to expect from Urartu FC in tomorrow's match?

- Personally, I expect a good game, better than in the previous match, we must do everything to defeat the opponent.

- What would you say about your feelings? This was your first international game as a head coach. Does it help you that you were a player before in matches of this level?

- Probably, now most of the coaches were previously players, I can't say for sure whether this fact helped, interfered or did not give anything, but I can assume that the process of preparing for international matches or what happened after the game was not something new for me.
