Bohemian spirit can see us mix it with Salzburg, says Fenlon

BOHEMIANS manager Pat Fenlon admits that his side go into tonight’s Champions’ League qualifier against Red Bull Salzburg as “massive underdogs” but still believes there are good reasons for thinking the League of Ireland champions and cup-holders can keep the tie alive for the return leg in Dalymount Park.

“We’re a good team, we have good players and plenty of experience, European experience,” pointed out the Gypsies boss. “When you know you have two or three players who are technically very good – when you have that going into Europe, it’s a big plus. You’re trying to change from the way you play every week to a one-off game. You have to change a little bit of the mindset about how we’re going to play – and that’s the part we have to get right tonight.

“We know they can do it, but having the balls to do it, the belief to do it is the thing. I believe they are the best group of players I have worked with and over time they have proven they have the right attitude to do it.”
