"My experience in Egypt is strange and a big shock because here we have about 30 or 40 people (in the press conference room).
"But do you know how many people came to our press conference before our last Champions League game in Cairo, Egypt (against AS FAR)?
"We won the last match 4-1 at home against AS FAR, and do you know how many journalists were at the press conference after the match?

"This is our problem.
"We are a young team =m but believe in me that while I say we are coming here to enjoy, it will be very good.
"We will be very strong tomorrow," says Jurcic.
