Sunday is the day our journey starts. All the efforts and time we have put in during trgs will show on Sunday. Thus, please do not let anything else affect you the day/night before.

I always believe that the first match is the most important of the competition as it will determine the tempo and attitude of the team for the rest of the matches. So i hope all of you will be mentally well prepared on sunday.

Like I said, I SERIOUSLY mean it when I say all players MUST sleep at 12am, maximum 1am in bed. If on sunday I see that anyone of you are not in the condition to play, you will not participate at all, myself included.

Another thing i want to add is that I can only register 18 players on that day, and given the squad number we have, some of you might not be registered. However, I will not reveal who is not registered and ALL will join in the warm up and follow the rest of the team til the end.

That leads me to the next point about playing time. I hope all of you will be matured enough to think, that whoever plays is being talked through with coach, and he decides who will be the most suitable to play. For some of you, you might only get to play 5 mins, or even not at all. I know to make you guys come back on a sunday morn without playing really sucks, but I really hope all of you will look at it with an open heart and put the team's interest at first priority.

Ok. Thats all for me. Rest well on Sat, and be prepared to fight on Sunday.

The journey will never be easy.
