The second round match of the Europa League will take place on October 3
Head coach Hoffenheim Pellegrino Matarazzo spoke about the upcoming match with Dynamo in the second round Europa League 2024/25.
“Great anticipation. There is something special about playing internationally. We are really looking forward to this match. It’s good that we got back into the rhythm right after the weekend. Clear head and full throttle – we are competitors. We enjoy every game. I would like to see engagement, energy and unity in our match.”
“Dynamo plays according to the classic 4-3-3 formation and wants to dominate. When they have the ball, they want to create chances through constructive football. Dynamo has high pressure in defense.”
“We plan to put pressure on them. We also want to create problems for the opposition when we have the ball. But it’s not just about the plan, but also about its implementation on the field. If we can do that, we will be successful.”
The match between Hoffenheim and Dynamo will take place on Thursday, October 3. Start – 19:45 Kyiv time. The match in Germany will be officiated by referee Aleksandar Stavrev from North Macedonia.
Let us remind you that Dynamo started in the Europa League with a nominally “home” defeat from Lazio (0:3). In the first round, Hoffenheim earned an away draw in a confrontation with Midtjylland (1:1).
