Start of the match – at 19:45
Rennes head coach Bruno Genesio commented yesterday the first match of the play-off round of the Europa League against miner.
“With frames without changes. All previously injured will not play tomorrow. The problem is not only with Terje’s injury, as several other important performers will also not be able to play. We understand that for performances in the European Cup we have too short a bench, but we try not to take this into account and just work.”
“So far, I have not spoken to the players about the fact that we have a Ukrainian team as our opponents. It’s hard to say anything here, because I talked with the Dynamo coach and we understand the conditions under which the players are preparing, based on the situation in your country. Of course, the game will show that the opponent will play not only for his club, but for the whole country. We know that Shakhtar will fight to the last and play at the highest level.”
“Shakhtar will play without Mudrik? Of course, this is a high-level footballer, he can be compared to a high-caliber weapon. Maybe this is good news for us, but there are still many high-level players left at Shakhtar. We have been watching the opponent for a long time, and I can’t say that after Mudrik leaves, it will become much easier for us.”
The Shakhtar vs Rennes match will take place on February 16 in Warsaw at the Polish Army Stadium. The meeting starts at 19:45 Kyiv time. The fight will be judged by the Bosnian team of judges headed by Ilfan Pelto.
The second leg will take place in France on February 23. The match starts at 22:00 Kyiv time.
