Hungary striker Nemanja Nikolic: “I expect a tough match, we’ve watched them two or three times before. Certainly the staff have analysed them already and we’ve identified the weak points that we would like to exploit. We’re expecting a tough match against them, but for us this is a very important match and if we come out of it well, we’ll qualify for the next round."
