Igor focuses on Andriy Yarmolenko as the leader of the white-blues
Famous Ukrainian midfielder, former midfielder of the Ukrainian national team Igor Khudobyak commented on the upcoming first match between Dynamo and Salzburg in the Champions League playoffs.
“I expect a good game from Dynamo, I hope that the players will please the fans, although the match itself will probably be quite difficult, because the Champions League is at stake. I think that there will be no surprises in the Dynamo squad. The Kievans showed a good game in the first matches of this season, so I predict that there will be none, although the match will show, perhaps there will be some surprises.”
“Dynamo’s opponent has always been worthy of the Champions League group stage, so this game will be difficult. However, Dynamo has gained good form, I think that the Kievans will be able to play their game. If they play their game, use their moments, they should get past the Austrians. But this game will not decide the issue of going to the main part of the tournament, everything will be decided at the stadium in Salzburg.”
“Dynamo’s strengths” before this match are team play and how the players give their all on the field, how they do what the coach wants them to do. This is their main trump card. Unfortunately, I did not watch the match against Karpaty, but it is unlikely that this match can be indicative for Salzburg.”
“Against the Austrians, experienced players like Yarmolenko should show leadership qualities. The opponents are not such an age team, they have less experience than some Dynamo players, so a lot will depend on the experienced players of Kiev.”
The first game between Dynamo and Salzburg will take place in Lublin, Poland, at the Lublin Arena on August 21. The kick-off is at 22:00 Kyiv time. The match will be officiated by a team of referees headed by Sandro Scherer.
The Kievans will play in white shirts. The Dynamo goalkeeper will take to the field in a yellow kit. The Austrian club will play in dark blue shirts. The Salzburg goalkeeper will wear an orange uniform.
The return match is scheduled for the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg on August 27 (22:00 Kyiv time).
