the Recipe for success in a european group stage is about to win its home games and find a result or two away.
the Latter part managed FC Copenhagen, when the team won in Bordeaux in the second round of the group, but in return, the team took not a single victory in three attempts on home soil.
And it costs in Europe.
– We knew in advance that if we did not get the points at home, as you need, so we came enough not far from the group, and it has been the case. We have not been sharp enough, says veteranmålmand Stephan Andersen.
the FCK opened the group stage with a 1-1 draw at home against Zenit St. petersburg. Petersburg, but subsequently be able to both Slavia Prague and Bordeaux journey from the Park with 1-0 victories.
Against Bordeaux on Thursday should FCK have won, as the team in the second half, created several good chances, but instead scored the French team’s only major chance.
– In the other matches, we have not created the opportunity where we could say that we should have won, but we did today.
– There, we lacked a bit of luck, which we had in Bordeaux, where we scored in the 90. minutes. It is that which has been decisive. It was on home ground, we should have retrieved the points, says Stephan Andersen.
Even though it ended with a fourth place in the group, so believes the former Brondby-goalkeeper, that the FCK can be the bet in Europe you know.
– There is always something where you think, that if you could do something about, then one would have done it, but when it is said, so we can see ourselves in the mirror and say that we have delivered a good performance in Europe, he strikes fast.
Zenit won the group ahead of Slavia Prague, and while the two teams are on to the spring knockoutkampe in the tournament, Bordeaux and FCK focus on the domestic obligations in the rest of the season.
