The second leg of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League will be held on February 23
Rennes head coach Bruno Genesio commented on the upcoming second leg of the 1/16 finals Europa League With miner.
“This is an important moment because we want to do well in this tournament. We’re playing in front of our own crowd, it’s going to be the playoffs, we know what that means. The great danger of such a match is to show impatience. You need to know that you have 90 minutes or more to get through.”
“Obviously we will have to score two more goals than Shakhtar. But we also have to be smart enough not to risk our chances, as we did in the first match or in other matches, believing that the opponent is not well prepared.”
“Obviously, Shakhtar has certain difficulties in preparation. But they are a team that regularly qualify for the Champions League, they had very good matches against Real Madrid and Leipzig in the group stage. It’s a really good team, but we definitely have to do better than we did in the first match.”
The team of Igor Jovicevich beat Rennes in the first match of the 1/16 finals of the LE – 2: 1. The victory for Shakhtar was brought by goals from Dmitry Kryskiv and Artem Bondarenko.
The second leg in France will take place on 23 February. The fight will start at 22:00 Kyiv time. The meeting will be served by the German team of referees headed by Tobias Stieler.
