Marko Nikolic: We are in first place and need to fight in each match to remain there

Just as always, I am expecting the players to produce their best performance. We are in first place and we have to battle in each game if we are to stay where we are. Paks are uncomfortable opponents and play a very specific type of game. They are always dangerous in front of goal whoever they play. This is why we have to be cautious and I would like us to control the game. We respect Paks, but we need to concentrate on our own game, just as we did against Debrecen. We were tactically disciplined in that match and we played with a good attitude. If we can do the same in today’s game, then we can win the match. We have picked up more points in 16 games than the team did after 19 last season. We still have three league games left. Ideally we could finish the autumn season with 10 points more than we did at the end of 2016. It is true that Ferencvaros are playing much better than they did last year. It will be an interesting and tough fight for first place. Now the first step in reaching our target is to pick up 3 points this evening against Paks. - commented Marko Nikolic.
