Adam Szalai focusing on the positives

Adam Szalai is sure that Schalke 05 can win in Greece and qualify for the Champions League.

Schalke 04 striker Adam Szalai is confident that his side can still qualify for the Champions League, despite their 1-1 draw at home to PAOK in the first leg of the qualifying playoff.

Szalai said that if he and his teammates think positively about the second leg then they have the ability to come through and qualify for the tournament.

"I don't think we need to look at this result too negatively," UEFA.com quotes Szalai as saying. "I was delighted to get the chance to play. I tried to do my best and work hard for the team and obviously I was hoping to win the match. Sadly it didn't work out that way but we've still got the second leg to come and anything is possible.
