Anorthosis Famagusta FC coach Temuri Ketsbaia warned his players not to
get "into any hot water" as they defend a 1-0 lead away at FC Pyunik.
Off the woodwork The Cypriot champions missed a host of chances to put
the tie beyond their opponents in the first leg of the UEFA Champions
League first qualifying round tie. Three efforts crashed against the
woodwork before a late penalty from Nikolaos Frousos finally broke
the deadlock, and the Georgian coach is taking nothing for granted.
Fierce heat "We could have made sure of our qualification in the
first leg", said 40-year-old Ketsbaia. "Now we have to win it again
in Armenia." The former Newcastle United FC attacker is expecting
a difficult match in Yerevan. "It won’t be easy because of the
hot weather and the fact that we are playing in the afternoon,"
he said. "We need to be cautious and not put ourselves into any hot
water during the game."
