The first match between Dynamo and Benfica will be held in Lodz on August 17
Mentor of the youth team of Ukraine Vladimir Yezersky named strengths Dynamo in the first match of the round Champions League qualifying playoffs against Benfica.
“Dynamo has a very strong opponent, the strongest of the former and possible opponents. Benfica is a titled club, a multiple participant in the group stage of the Champions League. Lisbon are balanced in all lines, they have many individually strong performers. An interesting game awaits us. Dynamo has already earned experience in this season. And as the matches against Fenerbahce and Sturm showed, Mircea Lucescu’s men are in good physical condition. The White-Blues look well-organized, so the Ukrainian team should come fully armed to the confrontation with Benfica. The only shame is that due to the number of yellow cards in the first match, experienced Sergey Sidorchuk and Denis Garmash will not help Dynamo.”
“What can Dynamo trump card in this meeting? Balanced defensive game with quick transition to attack. The couple’s favorite is Benfica, but Dinamo has a coach who knows how to achieve results in such big fights. After having passed Fenerbahce and Sturm, one does not want to stop one step away from entering the group stage of the Champions League. In their desire, the people of Kiev should not yield to their opponent.”
Earlier, Dynamo head coach Mircea Lucescu said that Benfica would have an advantage in the class in the upcoming matches.
The first match between Dinamo and Benfica will take place in Lodz on 17 August. The beginning is at 22:00 Kyiv time. The main referee of the meeting is the German Felix Zweier.
