Ahead of the first leg of Everton’s UEFA Europa League third round qualifier against MFK Ruu017eomberok on Thursday, we caught up with Lukáš Vráblik, a journalist for Slovakian newspaper Dennik N, to find out more about the Super Liga outfit.
Tell us how Ruu017eomberok qualified for the Europa League. Was it a surprise?
LV: Ruu017eomberok have always been a mid-table side, always very close to European places, but not serious contenders for the league title. Finishing third last season was a great achievement for them, as it was not expected they would finish above teams like Trenu010dín, who were the league champions back in 2016.
