Dynamo plays number two. The team has an emphasis on such a game. Dynamo, one might say, tries to play on the counterattacks. The people of Kiev have fast football players who can run out and score a goal. But in the matches against Sturm, Dynamo will also have to play the first number somewhere. I don’t know how the Dynamo players will cope with this. It seems to me that there will be such a duel that both teams will not be able to play the first number.
Two equal opponents will meet at the moment. Therefore, it is difficult to predict what the game will be like. But the matches will be very difficult. Ukrainian clubs have missed a lot of time and our teams do not have the same playing tone as they had a year ago. Our teams will take incremental steps forward. There will be other matches with Sturm, and over time, the game of the people of Kiev will get better and better, ”said Vorobey.
