The head coach of Dynamo Kyiv spoke about the difficult Conference League match in Thessaloniki.
The Greek fans put incredible pressure on the referee and Dynamo players during the Conference League qualifier. This was said by the head coach of the Kyiv club, Mircea Lucescu.
According to the specialist, his wards should not have lost in Thessaloniki, and therefore he expects Dinamo to win the second leg and advance to the next round.
“Now I am waiting for a reaction from my team. We were undeservedly defeated in Thessaloniki. The penalty was not awarded, there was no clear penalty against our goal, but it was appointed. The atmosphere was more like when Rapid – Petrolul , but the fans are not as civilized as in Giulesti. We were called, they didn’t care about us, the referee was put under incredible pressure. That’s why we really want to win and qualify. Then we have a match against Besiktas in Bucharest. Their fans also support the team a lot,” PlaySport.ro quoted Lucescu as saying.
Recall that Dynamo narrowly lost to Greek Aris in the first qualifying match for the Conference League.
