AEK head coach Jose Luis Oltra at the press conference before the match against Dnipro 1 in the Conference League, among other things, talked about how the Pitmen have changed since last summer.
- I think the model of the game has not undergone big changes, but they have improved physically, they have gained confidence. I think they were strengthened by the new players. They look good in defense, act as a team and it is very difficult to create chances against them. That was the case in the Conference League, the championship and I think that will be the case tomorrow as well. They also play well with the ball thanks to the presence of Pichalionk and Dovbik. They are a tough team, looking good in different phases of the game, but we have also gotten better and should struggle. There are two levels of matches awaiting us and in football you never know what can happen," the official website of Dnipro 1 quoted Oltra as saying.
