Lech Poznan coach Frederiksen says facing AGF in the Champions League was the worst option

[p]Niels Frederiksen was quite unhappy that his Polish club was paired with AGF in Wednesday's draw for the second round of the Champions League qualification.[/p][p]Frederiksen would have preferred to face Faroese outsiders [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/klaksvik/j9PptHXf/"]Klaksvik[/a], Latvian outfit [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/riga-fc/l2DXxTjh/"]Riga FC[/a], or Kazakh team [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/kairat-almaty/CrO7xXpJ/"]Kairat Almaty[/a] drawn from the bowl at the UEFA headquarters.[/p][embed guid="2ce90d82-d4a5-4c2c-a739-a536bd567981" url="https://x.com/LechPoznan/status/2067201817381949709" social-type="twitter" /][p][b]"I think neither AGF nor we are particularly excited about meeting each other. When you look at who we could meet, there were other teams I would have preferred. I consider AGF and the Swedish champions from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/mjallby/S0XtXM1E/"]Mjällby[/a] to be the strongest of the unseeded teams"[/b], Niels Frederiksen says to bold.dk[/p][p]"There will be two 50-50 matches to see who will advance to the third qualifying round. Of course, it is an advantage that I have a good knowledge of AGF when we start analyzing them."[/p][p]AGF probably also has a good knowledge of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/lech-poznan/OpNH7Ouf/"]Lech Poznan[/a]. Markus Uglebjerg, who is an assistant coach at the Danish champion club, was an assistant under Frederiksen at the Polish club for half a season in 2025.[/p]
