The head coach of Dynamo Kyiv commented on the return match of the Conference League selection against Aris.
“Emotions are positive, fortunately everything ended well, because Aris is a very tough opponent,” commented the head coach on the result of the match in the Conference League. Dynamo Mircea Lucescu.
The specialist lived separately from the events that took place after the fight in the Greek club. According to him, this is how his wards responded to provocations.
– This is a very difficult game. I said yesterday that we are facing a good opponent, which includes experienced, mature players, they have many matches behind them in the German Bundes League, in the English Premier League, and in the Spanish La Liga, they also have Brazilian. In this regard, their advantage in experience was felt. But we played with dignity and, I think, we deserved to win.
I want to thank the fans, even though we played on a neutral field, we felt the support of the local crowd and the Ukrainians in the stands. You helped us in today’s match, we invite everyone to the next game with Turkish Besiktasto help us.
– For a long time there were no extra times and a penalty shoot-out in my coaching career, probably for the last time – when I was still working in miner and played with Dynamo. The emotions are positive, fortunately everything is over. My great experience helped, because it’s hard to surprise me with something, because I’ve been through a lot in football.
– I worked well for a long time Besiktas, I was loved there, I achieved success there. To some extent it will be good to meet again on the football field. I would like to see a lot of fans, I know that there will definitely be enough of them from the Turkish side, because many Turks live and work in Bucharest. I hope that after today’s match, each of the fans will go home with a grain of positive received from our victory. We will wait for you next Thursday at our match. I’m sure the audience feels a part of this success too.
– Did you see what banners the Greek fans put up during the first match? They are directed against Ukraine. I couldn’t stop our players. I don’t support it and I apologize, but you have to understand our players. ‘Cause they saw the fan banners Arisa against Ukraine, against the military. Of course, I disagree with some actions. Hopefully it won’t happen again in the future. I did not expect this myself. But the reaction of our players is a result of how the fans behave Arisa.
Remember Dynamo won Aris qualified for the Conference League.
