Dynamo Kyiv head coach Mircea Lucescu talks about his team's first match against Turkish Fenerbahce (0:0) in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League.
Mircea Lucescu“It was a balanced match. Fenerbahce played well in passing, there were many other positive moments on their side.
Our rival trained at home at his base and was not on the road for several months. At the same time, the club had the opportunity to make acquisitions that the coach needed.
Many factors played against us, including the fact that we played on a neutral field and not on a home field. There were many Fenerbahce fans at the stadium, their support was tangible.
It was our first official match in the last eight months. No matter how many charity matches we have, from a competitive point of view, they do not matter. Something more is needed in sports.
In the first match against Fenerbahce, we played carefully enough not to make fatal mistakes that would have deprived us of chances in the second leg. Our opponent had more shots on goal, but we had more scoring chances," Romanian media quoted Lucescu as saying.
