Astra coach: “We’re no favourites”

FC Astra coach Marius Sumudica is refusing to accept it’s a formality for the Romanian outfit to progress at our cost in the Europa Cup tournament.

Two away goals is a formidable comfort cushion but the Astra boss is talking down his team’s chances as favourites to complete the job.

Following the game he declared: “ We are definitely not favourites. We have played one game so far and the pressure is actually on us because everyone thinks we are the favourites.”
