Eurocup debut for the hero of Gibraltar: Garcia starts against Zrinjski

A special evening for Nauzet García in Mostar, Bosnia! The goalkeeper of Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar, who recently became a hero in Armenia by saving a crucial penalty and leading the team to the group stage of the Conference League, is once again in the spotlight. Today (at 17:45 Kyiv time), he will make his debut in European competitions with a match against Zrinjski Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"We are very eager to play and full of enthusiasm! We know it will be difficult because the opponent is strong at home and in good shape right now. But we have also prepared well and will try to impose our game on them in order to score points."

"Yes, this is one of the most important moments in my career. A debut in European competitions, in the group stage of the Conference League – it's very prestigious. We worked hard to get here, and we will do our best."

"I try to stay calm. Of course, there is excitement before the game, but we are ready and waiting for the starting whistle to begin and enjoy this experience."

"There is a great atmosphere in the locker room. We have prepared well and done something historic for the club, the league, and the country. We believe in ourselves and are full of enthusiasm."

"Yes, we are overflowing with enthusiasm! Even players from other teams wish us good luck. We have worked hard, sacrificed many things, and achieved almost the impossible. We feel the support of the entire league and the people of Gibraltar."

"Defeats are also useful; they show what needs to be worked on. In the match against Braga, we realized that we made mistakes. They are a top-level team with world-class players. But we learned from this and became stronger."

"I don't know who the most difficult opponent is. All teams have potential, and every match will be difficult. Zrinjski, for example, recently played in the Europa League group stage. It will be easier at home, and away we will try to score points and return to Gibraltar with a positive result."

"I am most looking forward to the first match. It will be special because it is our debut in the Conference League group stage. Of course, the atmosphere in Warsaw or at home against Lech will also be incredible, but I am most looking forward to today's game."

"Those who have already played at this level say that it is one of the best experiences in life: to go out on the field, hear the Conference anthem, see the filled stadiums. They share their experiences with us and support us."

"Last time, they got very strong opponents, but they fought well, although they could not score points. This year, although it seems that the teams are not so well-known, they are very professional and well-prepared. If they are here, it is not just by chance."

"We have been playing in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League for many years. But this year is special. From the very beginning, we wanted to reach the group stage, and we succeeded. Now we just want to enjoy this experience, which is the best in my career."

"Our idea is to go from match to match. We have a great coaching staff that prepares us well for each game. We will try to impose our game on our opponents, show everything we are capable of, score as many points as possible, and enjoy this experience."
