Miron Markevych: “I said right after the draw that Dynamo would beat Fenerbahce”

Honored Coach of Ukraine Myron Markevich told what he expects from the confrontation between Dynamo Kyiv and Turkish Fenerbahce in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League. Recall that the first match between the rivals will take place today in Polish Lodz, and a week later in Istanbul there will be a return match.

- Fenerbahce is an experienced team, but when the draw was over and Dynamo lost the Turks, I immediately said that the people of Kiev would go further. Well, let's see.

Dynamo players need to put pressure on the opponent in the other half of the field. This is especially true in a home match.

I watched several Fenerbahce games and they don't like it very much. When they are allowed to play, they are dangerous, but if they act tightly, do not let them breathe... I have already said and I will repeat that the youth of the Dynamo players must play its role.

What is the advantage of Dynamo? Dynamo is a team younger and faster than Fenerbahce. I think that this should play into the hands of the people of Kiev. And their preparation lasted longer than that of the Turks. This is also important.

You need to ask Mircea Lucescu how he will play. The Turks must not be allowed to breathe, and if the team is ready to put pressure on the opponent's half of the field, not to let Fenerbahce just go out, then the result will be positive.

Forecast for the first match? 1:0 in favor of Dynamo,” said Markevich.
