Dynamo head coach shared his expectations from the Champions League qualifying match.
Alexander Shovkovskiy expects a tough match in the qualifying round of the Champions League against Salzburg.
According to the head coach of Dynamo Kyiv, the opponent has a young, ambitious team that plays fast football and is used to winning.
In addition, the specialist once again expressed regret about the inability to play in front of his own fans in Ukraine.
“Of course, when you don’t play in your home stadium, the NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv, which can accommodate 70 thousand fans, everything is different, but we thank Lublin for the fact that the city responded and gave us the opportunity to holding our home matches here, and also for supporting us and doing everything possible to make us feel comfortable here.
There were fewer people at the match with Partizan, more people came to the game with Rangers, and we hope that tomorrow even more of our fans will gather in the stands to support us against RB Salzburg.
We are very grateful to them, it is important to us. We play football for the fans, to give joy to people, and for our part we will do everything possible to satisfy our people with a bright game and, of course, the result.
The opposing team is young, ambitious, plays fast football, and tries to dictate its terms on the football field. Of course, you have to expect aggravation from the whole attack and be careful in adjusting your game on defense.
As for being alone with one of the football players, I have never done it and I will not do it now. I will just say that except for the last season, RB Salzburg has consistently won the championship and participated in the Champions League. This indicates a relatively high, good level of the team,” Dynamo’s website quoted Shovkovsky as saying.
We remind you that the match Dynamo Kyiv – Salzburg will take place today, August 21. The game will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.
Earlier, Dynamo’s application for the game with Salzburg was recognized.
